POLICY

In the world, it is known that a large area of forest, equivalent to an area of a whole soccer field, is disappearing every second. There are a number of reasons behind this speed of destruction, including a harvest of timbers, conversion to farm land for soy and palm, among other reasons.

A forest’s function is not limited to an absorption and fixation of CO2, but it also extends as a capacitor of water, as well as a supporter of biodiversity.

more trees conducts projects to maintain and revitalize these functions by recreating healthy-grown forests.

more trees is active all over the world. Wherever there is a need, more trees will be available to engage in actions.
more trees’s strategy is not simply planting trees. Many factors associated with each project site must be taken into an account.
more trees values the following three principles so that each project can lead to benefit everyone.

1. Effect on the actions against climate change

Greenhouse gases, which include CO2 produced by our activities, are seriously effecting climate change. A forest’s ability to absorb CO2 is widely known.
Based on a calculation of carbon-offset value, more trees can estimate how much contribution can be made through forestation activities.

2. Consideration towards biodiversity

If the planted tree is chosen merely by its speed of growth, volume of CO2 absorption, or its value as lumber, it will harm local biodiversity. more trees will conduct a forestation that fits the local environment.

Contribution to a local community

This is particularly important when one conducts activities in developing countries. Each project needs to generate employment and cash benefit, and ultimately resolve poverty and raise people’s standard of living.

Even for domestic projects, more trees considers the importance of closely working with a local society. more trees initiates projects, which are also beneficial to local communities.
