Our Forests

Why forests are so important

More than just collections of trees, forests are dynamic ecosystems that purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and house more than 80% of terrestrial biodiversity. Forests stand at the frontline of our fight against climate change by naturally sequestering carbon.

Reforestation, tree-planting and forest management offer a natural solution to one of our era's most daunting challenges.

Planting a mix of tree species is crucial for biodiversity and resilience. It enhances ecosystem stability, improves resistance to pests and diseases, and supports diverse ecological functions.

What is a Smart Forest™?

A Smart Forest™ is a blend of nature's wisdom and advanced technology, influenced by the knowledge of Indigenous communities. Our team uses their expertise and innovative digital tools to measure and track a forest’s ability to create clean air and purify water.

Through forest management, we also  look at techniques to reduce natural disaster risks and rejuvenate our country's essential ecosystems, economy, and social well-being.

More than just tree planting 

Through our unique six-phased approach, we are committed to the enduring health of our Smart Forest™️ ecosystems.
