To solve this question, we must know about the process of restoration.
The process of restoration includes planting trees (afforestation). The trees are specific and provide ecological function in the target ecosystem. In the restoration programme the economic species are planted so that cash can be generated. The people near the restoration sites are benefited by the same.
