Afforestation & Reforestation
Forests absorb substantial CO₂ through photosynthesis, storing carbon in trunks, branches, roots, and surrounding soil for decades or centuries. Mature forests sequester 10-40 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually while providing water cycle regulation, soil erosion prevention, habitat for 80% of terrestrial biodiversity, and resources for human communities.

Reforestation vs Afforestation
Reforestation restores forests to previously forested lands degraded by logging or natural disasters. Afforestation creates new forests on historically non-forested lands like abandoned agricultural areas, expanding total forest coverage beyond historical levels.
Our approach combines scientific forest management with community engagement to create resilient, biodiverse forests that deliver verified carbon credits and multiple co-benefits. From project design and species selection to monitoring and carbon credit certification, we provide end-to-end solutions for forest carbon projects.
Our Methodology
We implement comprehensive forest restoration through a scientific approach:
Comprehensive Site Assessment
We begin with comprehensive site assessments examining soil composition, drainage, topography, and climate history to understand ecological conditions and restoration potential.
Native Species Selection
Species selection prioritizes native trees that support local wildlife and require minimal inputs, incorporating diverse mixtures that mimic natural forest composition for resilience against climate variability and pests.
Scientific Planting Approach
Planting employs mechanical equipment for large areas supplemented by manual planting in sensitive zones. Seedlings from certified nurseries are planted during optimal seasons with erosion control measures and protective fencing where needed.
Long-term Stewardship
Young forests require years of maintenance including watering, weeding, seedling replacement, and fire protection. We establish permanent monitoring systems to ensure forest health and carbon sequestration:
Forest Maintenance
Ongoing care including watering during dry periods, weeding to reduce competition, seedling replacement for any losses, and fire protection measures.
- Regular watering during establishment
- Weed control to reduce competition
- Fire prevention systems
Monitoring & Verification
We establish permanent monitoring plots tracking survival rates, growth, carbon accumulation, and biodiversity indicators using drone imagery and satellite monitoring.
- Drone and satellite monitoring
- Permanent monitoring plots
- Carbon measurement protocols
Long-term Protection
Conservation easements ensure perpetual forest protection, while sustainable management practices maintain forest health for decades to come.
- Conservation easements
- Sustainable management plans
- Community protection agreements
Community Integration
Our forest projects create multiple benefits for local communities while ensuring long-term sustainability:
Employment & Livelihoods
Projects create employment in planting and maintenance, establish community nurseries generating sustained income, and integrate agroforestry allowing crop cultivation between young trees.
- Local employment opportunities
- Community nurseries
- Agroforestry integration
Economic Benefits
Carbon finance and ecosystem service payments provide long-term revenue streams, while sustainable forest management creates ongoing economic opportunities.
- Carbon credit revenue
- Ecosystem service payments
- Sustainable forest products
Community Engagement
Active community participation in forest management ensures local ownership and long-term protection, with training programs building local capacity in sustainable forestry.
- Community decision-making
- Capacity building programs
- Benefit-sharing agreements
