Why Trees? The Science of Reforestation

More Than Just Carbon Sponges

Everyone knows trees absorb CO2. But their impact goes significantly deeper. Here are three critical reasons we focus on reforestation:

1. Biodiversity Support

Forests are home to 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. When we plant trees in places like the Amazon or Madagascar, we aren't just planting wood; we are rebuilding homes for jaguars, lemurs, and thousands of insect species.

2. Water Cycle Regulation

Roots act as natural filters. They stabilize the soil and allow rainwater to trickle down into underground aquifers rather than rushing off the surface. This prevents flash floods and ensures a steady supply of clean water for local communities.

3. Economic Empowerment

Our partners hire local villagers to plant and maintain these forests. This provides sustainable jobs in areas where logging or poaching might be the only other options. By planting trees, we cultivate local economies.
