Reforestation of surface mined lands in Appalachia
APPALACHIAN INITIATIVE CONVERTS COAL MINES TO CARBON SINKS
Our mission
Trees and forests are a critical part of the solution to the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse. That’s why we aim to mobilize, connect, and empower the global reforestation community to conserve, restore and grow a trillion trees by 2030 for people, biodiversity and planet.
CONTRIBUTION TO UN DECADE ON ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION
We are part of the World Economic Forum’s work to accelerate nature-based solutions in support of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), supported by funding from Marc and Lynne Benioff.
