Why tree-planting initiatives fail Many socio-political factors can make reforestation projects fail in the long term, as can planting trees without understanding a site’s biome and soil composition. Concrete local monitoring is the only option to ensure that a site’s infrastructure, knowledge, and long-term supervision remains.
