Terraformation

Humans are a part of nature — so restoring our forests is about more than just planting trees. Rebuilding an ecosystem sustainably means addressing the needs of the human communities that coexist with the forest — such as shelter, food, and safety. In the Philippines, Terraformation is embarking on an ambitious new restoration project in partnership with CCCO2, a Philippine reforestation and conservation company founded in 2018. As the biodiverse forest is restored to this former colonial cattle ranch, agroforestry will enable the local Indigenous communities to grow native crops like cocoa, hemp, and millet. A few facts about this project: • 1,000 hectares, with 12,000 hectare expansion potential • 508,000 tonnes of CO2 sequestered over 40 years • Environmental co-benefits include improved water quality, reduced risk of wildfires, and enhanced erosion and flood control • Agroforestry areas will integrate crops of cocoa, hemp, and adlai (millet)  • Equal employment opportunities, including for women in leadership positions   We're excited to begin the restoration of this beautiful mountain region.

Trees and water have a good thing going. Not only is water vital for a tree’s survival, but when it rains, the tree’s roots hold the soil together, slowing down the absorption of precipitation, which removes pollutants, refills aquifers deep in the earth, and provides drinking water for more than 150 million people in the U.S. Trees can also affect healthy rainfall patterns by releasing water vapor through their leaves. That means when large swaths of forests are lost, areas thousands of miles away can experience drought and other devastating climate effects. Forests benefit rainfall, precipitation benefits forests, and water and forests benefit us. And for that, we can't thank them enough. https://lnkd.in/gyvQp8Vb

Foresters, wave goodbye to outdated spreadsheets and paper records and say hello to Terraware! 👋 Through years of experience with forestry projects, we recognized the need for advanced, user-friendly tools to support the entire reforestation process: from mapping planting areas to sourcing native seeds, managing nursery operations, tracking planting progress, and more. So we created Terraware. We built upon protocols established by the US Forestry Service, integrated best practices in forest science, and rigorously tested features at our pilot restoration site in Hawaiʻi. The result? A comprehensive forest management platform that can be leveraged by project teams as well as investors and funders. And because restoration technology is critical to solving the climate crisis, we made Terraware free and accessible for foresters everywhere. Let’s improve transparency and scalability for native reforestation projects worldwide. Start using Terraware today!

I'm excited to attending #COP16 in Cali, Colombia. Let me know if you'll be in town and want to connect and talk about reforestation, high quality carbon credits or community impact.

Join us at COP16 and Bloom 24! 🌎 We’re excited to announce that our team will be at #COP16 and #Bloom24 in Cali, Colombia, from October 21 - November 1, 2024! 🎉 Meet Berry Kennedy, our Chief Operating Officer and VP of Operations; Jonathan Kim, Chief Sustainability Officer and VP of Climate Impact; and Marcela Tapias Gálvez, Program Manager for LATAM. We’re eager to connect with global leaders and partners to restore native forests, enhance biodiversity, and build resilient ecosystems that provide long-term community benefits. 🤝 At the event, we’ll spotlight our project collaboration with Fundación Grupo Argos (FGA) to restore 1,150 hectares of native forest in the nearby region of Antioquia, Colombia, reintroducing over 40 native species and enhancing habitats for endemic and endangered wildlife. 🌱 We hope to see you in Cali! Request a meeting with our team here: https://refore.st/4ezThH2

Funding is the single greatest obstacle to high-quality ecosystem restoration. We're honored to be included by World Economic Forum, UpLink - World Economic Forum, and 1t.org for our work in unlocking capital, making it possible for exceptional forestry teams to scale their projects!

Now, this is how it's done! Community-based native reforestation in Borneo brought back at least "47 species of mammals, birds and reptiles, 18 of them at risk for extinction" — and on less than 300 acres of land! The involvement of the community made all the difference: "After villagers were hired to regularly weed and water the land, the survival rate of saplings rose substantially, and is now above 70 percent." A leader of the nonprofit said that "addressing the needs of the people living nearby first was key to the project’s success." When we restore forests with biodiversity and community needs in mind, everyone wins. 🦥 👫🏽 🌳 Read more (gift link): https://lnkd.in/ez9WAE3W
