Answer 1

The statement is true or false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reafforestation which is the process of replanting trees in order to regenerate the lost trees in a particular region is a simple way of fighting tree losses due to the activities of commercial lumber companies and ranchers.

Normally, an average tree takes between 1 year and 10 years to grow up to maturity. The more trees are cut down, the more the soil macro and micro fauna are disrupted. Inorder to regenrate the exploited areas, it it highly encouraged to leave those areas for few years to be able to recover fully.
