Of course I meant "reforested". Sorry for that. I posted my answer too quickly.

And like Neil pointed out, the correct abbreviation of "hectáreas" is "ha". However, you still see people using "Has" like in your document.

700 ha of reforested land


Explanation:
Be careful: forested land is not the same as reforested land. The latter implies replanting trees after logging and other disturbances.
The abreviation of hectare is 'ha'. The hectare is a unit of measurement of 10,000 square metres, or a square with sides of 100 metres.
