Why Forests Matter

Forests are essential to life on Earth, acting as the lungs of the planet, absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide, and contributing to 27% of global climate action by 2030.

They regulate water cycles, prevent soil erosion, and provide essential resources to communities worldwide. Beyond these critical functions, forests are home to 80% of terrestrial biodiversity, making them vital to the planet’s ecological balance.

What We Do

Through our Portfolio of Startups, we accelerate innovative projects that restore degraded forests, protect ecosystems from deforestation, and develop sustainable systems.

These startups create solutions that balance environmental conservation with the needs of local communities, ensuring forests remain resilient and productive for generations to come.
