1. Environmental impact:

   • CO2 sequestration: The total amount of carbon dioxide your forest is expected to offset.

   • Trees planted: The sum of all the trees you've planted.

   • Hectares: The sum of the hectares you´ve reforested.

1. • Biodiversity benefits: Details on how your forest supports local ecosystems by creating habitats for wildlife.

2. Project details:

   • Jobs created: Information on how your forest supports local communities by creating sustainable jobs.

   • Community benefits: Details on how reforestation improves the quality of life for local populations, such as providing resources like fruit or fuel.

3. Forest details:

   • Specific data about the species of trees planted, their geographical location, and their ecological significance.

Understanding the data

• The Impact page provides dynamic data: the information in this section updates in real time as new trees are planted.
• Your Forest Impact data (including tree count, CO2 values, and biodiversity markers) is backed by our FOUNDATION Certification standard. Click on the link to learn more about it.
• To have an insight on how we calculate the CO2 values, check our CO2 offset methodology.
• The hectares of reforested land data comes from a calculation based on the tree density (per ha) observed within each project.
