What is the main purpose of afforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increasing forest cover by planting trees

Afforestation means establishing trees on land where there was little or no forest cover, or increasing tree cover through planned planting and care. Its main purpose is to expand vegetation and forest cover. Trees can provide habitats, help protect soil from erosion, store carbon, and support the water cycle, although the success of a plantation also depends on suitable species and proper maintenance. Afforestation is therefore a conservation and restoration activity, not an activity that destroys forests.

Option A is correct because it directly states the central purpose: increasing forest cover by planting trees. Cutting trees, promoting overgrazing, and spreading forest fires reduce vegetation and damage habitats. Those choices are opposite to afforestation. When answering, connect the prefix and meaning of the term with tree establishment, ecological restoration, and a greener landscape.
