Reforestation programs could threaten vast area of tropical grasslands

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1034016

"A study published in the journal Science reveals that an area the size of France is under threat by forest restoration initiatives due to inappropriate restoration in the form of tree-planting."

"They warn that planting trees in these grassy areas [..] could be a risk to wildlife such as rhinos and wildebeest, as well as people who depend on these ."

@richard The paper's title says it, but people need to stop confusing the meaning of restoration. These ecosystems are grassland; planting trees means altering them.
