Reforestation
Reforestation investments contribute to carbon sequestration, improve air quality, and restore biodiversity by replanting trees on deforested lands. These projects not only combat global warming but also restore wildlife habitats, support water cycles, and provide economic opportunities through sustainable forestry practices.
Funds aligned with this category aim to invest in companies and organisations that support reforestation and contribute to forestry sustainability. Some funds allocate a specific portion of their portfolio, such as 5%, directly to non-governmental organisations involved in reforestation efforts. These investments are often part of broader environmental sustainability strategies, which include strict policies against logging old growth forests unless it's for crucial management reasons like conservation or fire risk control.

Deforestation remains one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, with vast tracts of forest being cleared for agriculture, urban development, and logging. This widespread deforestation leads to loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and significant contributions to climate change. Amid this crisis, sustainable forestry emerges as a potential solution, offering a way to balance economic interests with environmental stewardship.
