== Management ==
A debated issue in managed reforestation is whether or not the succeeding forest will have the same [[biodiversity]] as the original forest. If the forest is replaced with only one species of tree and all other vegetation is prevented from growing back, a [[monoculture]] forest similar to agricultural crops would be the result. However, most reforestation involves the planting of different [[seedlot]]s of seedlings taken from the area, often of multiple species.<ref name="kennethmarendefoundation.com">{{cite web |url=http://kennethmarendefoundation.com/index.php/reforestation-problem |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2013-03-27 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111185724/http://kennethmarendefoundation.com/index.php/reforestation-problem |archivedate=2014-11-11 |df= }}</ref> Another important factor is the natural regeneration of a wide variety of plant and animal species that can occur on a [[clearcutting|clear cut]]. In some areas the suppression of [[wildfire|forest fires]] for hundreds of years has resulted in large single aged and single species [[stand level modelling|forest stands]]. The logging of small clear cuts and/or prescribed burning actually increases the biodiversity in these areas by creating a greater variety of tree stand ages and species.

[[Trees for the Future]] has assisted more than 170,000 families, in 6,800 villages of Asia, Africa and the Americas, to plant over 35 million trees.<ref>[http://www.treesftf.org/about/history.htm Trees for the Future] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613074936/http://treesftf.org/about/history.htm |date=2010-06-13 }}</ref>
[[Wangari Maathai]], 2004 [[Nobel Peace Prize]] recipient, founded the [[Green Belt Movement]] which planted over 47 million trees to restore the Kenyan environment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greenbeltmovement.org|title=The Greenbelt Movement|publisher=}}</ref>
