Our Impact

Forests are one of our strongest defences against climate change. Here is why our work matters — and how we measure it.

Why our work matters

The scale of the challenge.

Forests absorb carbon, cool the land, and shelter most of the world's land biodiversity. Yet forest loss is accelerating, and every hectare lost makes the climate crisis harder to reverse. Our work targets the point where local action meets global impact.

  • Native woodland restored on degraded land
  • Communities equipped to monitor and report forest loss
  • Public awareness of deforestation and carbon
  • Advocacy for stronger EU forest and climate policy
Forest canopy
30M ha

Tree cover lost worldwide in 2024 — the highest annual total ever recorded.

6.7M ha

Tropical primary forest lost in 2024 — an area nearly the size of Panama.

18/min

Football pitches of tropical forest destroyed every minute in 2024.

Our approach

Local action, measurable results.

We focus on work that can be seen and measured: trees in the ground, land restored, forest change tracked, and policy moved. As a young organisation, we publish what we do honestly — including what is still in development — and grow our impact year by year.
