Forest plantations grow trees for commercial, conservation, or environmental purposes. Common uses include timber production, paper manufacturing, and carbon offsetting. Managed by government bodies, private companies, or community groups, plantations use fast-growing tree species like teak, eucalyptus, or rubber. Activities include planting, thinning, harvesting, and reforestation. These plantations help meet wood demand while preserving natural forests. They also create rural employment and improve biodiversity. Forest plantations can aid in erosion control, water management, and climate change mitigation. Certification and sustainable practices are key to environmental and economic benefits.
