Forestcalling

Despite a gradual awareness of the value of trees and forests since the 2010s, deforestation continues to be rampant. Tropical forests are the main victims of deforestation. Every year, 10 million hectares of forests disappear (FAO, 2020). This represents approximately 2,400 trees felled every minute. Deforestation also has a heavy responsibility for climate change. Deforestation and forest degradation are the cause of 15 to 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions, leading to the disruptions we see today. ForestCalling SAS develops, finances, and operates reforestation programs in tropical areas, with the double objective of restoring degraded forests, and monetizing carbon credits associated with those restored forests. With an objective of restoring hectares of forest by 2030, ForestCalling focuses on human-scale projects which are respectful of biodiversity and supportive of local populations, ensuring a positive impact for its stakeholders. Based in Paris, ForestCalling is active in Madagascar, Africa (DRC, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Nigeria) and in Brazil.
