Area of land that the organization reforested during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture the area of land reforested, a proxy for the efficiency of management measures, natural regeneration, and the magnitude of effects of the reforested area on surrounding areas. Analysis of area reforested often suggests needed management adjustments as a result of biotic and abiotic factors such as diseases and droughts. Organizations are encouraged to closely monitor deforestation and its causes through remote sensing data, tracking the evolution and speed of reforestation over time.
