How to use reforestation in a sentence?

1. Alamos CEO John McCluskey:

   We've already paid for it ... As part of the forestry permit, we have paid about $5 million (and) a big component of that fee is to pay for reforestation, in six and a half years, the whole focus of this area will be to replant. And in a decade, maybe a bit more than that, it will look like a forest again.

2. Dean Dalla Valle:

   Besides straight remediation, we are talking about actions like sewage, landfill, reforestation, water treatment.

3. Dean Dalla Valle:

   This is not about a dollar amount, this about a program to remediate, to restore and where we can't restore to compensate and also to leave some positive legacies behind, besides straight remediation, we are talking about actions like sewage, landfill, reforestation, water treatment.

4. Joram Mathenge:

   In the past, people would be pushed off the land for reforestation. At night, they would rip up the saplings and destroy their roots.

5. Mark Maslin:

   We have to be very careful when we look at carbon offsets because they are an additional bonus when we're dealing with climate change, but they are not the solution, reforestation or rewilding of the world can only go so far... The solution to climate change is rapid decarbonization of our energy systems.
