    • Forests are often referred to as the “lungs of the Earth” due to their ability to produce oxygen through which process?

    • What is the term for the restoration of degraded forests to their original state or to a state of ecological health?
    • Which type of tree planting involves strategically planting trees in urban areas to reduce the urban heat island effect and improve air quality?
