It's About More Than Trees

We Measure Impact

Reducing CO2 Levels Helps Mitigate Climate Change

Monitoring carbon in forest restoration is vital as forests act as the planet's lungs, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. By tracking carbon sequestration, we can determine the efficacy of restoration efforts in mitigating climate change. It allows for a quantifiable measure of a forest's contribution to global carbon cycles and offers insights into the potential of forests in offsetting anthropogenic carbon emissions. Furthermore, understanding carbon dynamics can help optimize forest management practices for maximum carbon capture.

Encouraging Growth of Native Species Supports Wildlife

Biodiversity is the foundation of ecosystem resilience and functionality. Monitoring biodiversity ensures that restoration efforts are promoting a rich variety of species and not inadvertently creating monocultures. A biodiverse forest is more resilient to pests, diseases, and changing climatic conditions. Furthermore, each species plays a unique role in the ecosystem, and by monitoring biodiversity, we can better understand and protect these intricate relationships. veritree uses a mixture of technologies to monitor biodiversity including environmental DNA sampling, acoustic monitoring and remote sensing.

Job Creation Empowers Communities

People are central to ecosystem restoration. From smallholder farmers to local and Indigenous peoples, to employees in forest enterprises, roughly 1.6 billion people live in and around forests and depend on its natural resources to some extent.  Restoration is an opportunity to achieve equity in both rural and urban areas, providing avenues to empower women and young people. Moreover, by promoting and conserving healthy landscapes, restoration can help promote the use of traditional knowledge and protect Indigenous cultural systems and practices.

Rebuilding Natural Habitats Maintain Healthy Ecosystems

Forests play a crucial role in maintaining hydrological cycles. Monitoring water aspects ensures that restored forests are aiding in groundwater recharge, regulating water flows, and maintaining water quality by filtering pollutants. Forests also act as buffers during heavy rainfall, preventing floods and reducing soil erosion. Hence, keeping an eye on water dynamics in and around forests ensures both ecosystem health and human wellbeing.

Replenishing Deforested Areas Boost Environmental Stability

Monitoring land impacts in forest restoration helps ensure that the restored areas are resilient to degradation, such as soil erosion and desertification. Healthy forests improve soil fertility, structure, and prevent land degradation, promoting a sustainable loop of growth and regeneration. Moreover, tracking land changes can reveal any encroachments or unplanned land-use changes, ensuring that restoration efforts remain undisturbed and effective.
