The stakes are high: a staggering 95% of Earth's land could succumb to degradation by 2050. While the task might appear straightforward - simply plant millions of trees - the reality is far more perplexing. Haphazard tree-planting in unsuitable locations can wreak havoc on ecosystems and jeopardise the livelihoods of local communities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe surge of interest in restoring forests has ushered in a wave of greenwashing, where deceptive environmental marketing and scientific mishaps undermine genuine efforts.
