Afforestation is an example of which conservation measure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increasing forest area by planting new trees

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Afforestation means planting trees on land where there was little or no forest and thereby increasing forest or tree cover. Trees can provide habitat, food, shelter, shade, oxygen production, soil protection, and support for biodiversity. Option A correctly describes this conservation measure. Option B is wrong because increasing hunting harms wildlife populations and is not conservation. Option C is wrong because converting forest land into factories removes habitat and can increase pollution and fragmentation. Option D is wrong because drying rivers damages aquatic ecosystems and reduces water availability. Afforestation is related to increasing tree cover; restoring a previously damaged forest is often called reforestation, but both support ecological recovery. A useful exam cue is: afforestation means adding forests by planting trees, not removing them.
