A protection forest is an essential resource for preserving the environment, securing livestock grazing, and mitigating climate change effects. It is a type of forest whose primary function is to protect humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. There are various synonyms for protection forest, including shelterbelt, windbreaks, forest buffer, forest barrier, and protective plantation. Shelterbelt refers to a strip of trees planted to protect farms, crops, and livestock from wind erosion, while windbreak refers to an area of trees or shrubs planted to protect buildings and structures from wind damages. Forest buffer and protective plantation are reserves created along water sources to protect them from degradation and erosion.
