What are the benefits of tree planting?Updated a year ago

Trees capture carbon from the atmosphere and lock it away for as long as that tree is in the ground. Reforestation also helps in many other ways including restoration of ecosystems for wildlife, reducing erosion, capturing water in the soil to fight drought and desertification. It also has benefits in local communities by providing employment, keeping children in education longer, acting as a source of food and reducing climate migration because previously hard to inhabit areas become more stable.
