Nowadays, there are two types of reforestation commonly talked about:

Urban reforestation

Urban reforestation actions include restoring urban forests after a natural disaster.

Rural reforestation
It refers to the large-scale planting of trees to restore deforested areas. It can have a variety of aims such as preserving species native to the areas, fertilizing the soil, and protecting against erosion. It also includes the recovery of forested areas destroyed by a natural disaster.
