01 The challenge

Scale across two regions

Restoring land across two regions means working with many landowners and many local conditions. The trees also need to survive for decades, with no reversal of the carbon they store.

02 The approach

A grouped project with shared revenue

The project groups 12,000 hectares under one design. A total of 256 families receive 50% of the revenue, so they have a stake in keeping the trees alive.
