Terrestrial Reforestation
Projects

Nature’s Giants

Terrestrial reforestation is an effort to restore and expand forested areas on land that have been depleted, degraded, or deforested. This restoration approach involves planting and nurturing a variety of tree species in order to recover and enhance forest ecosystems. Terrestrial reforestation contributes to:

The Benefits of Terrestrial Forests

Terrestrial restoration helps rebuild ecosystems by improving soil health, increasing water retention, and reducing erosion. It also supports biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife, and supports cleaner air and carbon sequestration as forests grow.

Sequesters 25% of human carbon emissions annually.1

Regulates 75% of the world's freshwater resources.2

Home to more than 80% of all terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects.3
