The main goal of the "Forests of the Future" program is to invite local communities such as forest farmers to rehabilitate the damaged forests by planting fruit trees. Thus, farmers will benefit economically from harvesting their fruit crops, while the tree stands will have ecological functions which roots would hold the soil together to prevent landslide and flooding.
