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:
Carbon Sequestration
Biodiversity Conservation
Ecosystem Services
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 contributes to cleaner air and a more stable climate through carbon capture.
Sequesters 25% of human carbon emissions annually.
Regulates 75% of the world’s freshwater resources.
Protects 80% of the world's biodiversity.
Rehabilitating natural landscapes to provide clean water, air, enhanced biodiversity, and wildlife habitat for residents.
Restoring Old Bonjoge Forest to contribute to food security, income sources, and natural regeneration.
Reforesting areas of Florida to restore the native longleaf pine ecosystem, enhance resilience against climate change and support rare species.
Revitalizing a former logging site in New Brunswick by planting diverse native species to reverse land degradation and boost biodiversity.
