Who we are
REFORESTATION WORLD started as a private initiative, dedicated to the promotion of forest restoration efforts worldwide and the support of practical actions.
Since 2021, we are a non-profit association registered in Zurich, Switzerland, with a tax-exempt status.
We are active both locally and abroad, together with a network of project members and others who see the problem of forest degradation and are actively working for thriving ecosystems and sustainable human livelihoods.
More about the Association
The original Reforestation World sticker, hand-painted by the founder of this initiative, tries to inspire people for a vibrant and positive vision of life.
The sticker is usually distributed at our events. If you’re interested in having one, be sure to check our announcements and join us!
Our main goal is to restore and expand healthy forest ecosystems, from remote areas to cities.
Forests are a pillar of life. We want to reverse the dramatic loss and degradation caused during the last 100 years and promote a sustainable integration with human activities.
Our approach:
– We support and execute practical actions in Switzerland with public participation, science-based and accountable. From concrete restoration actions to education and awareness-raising activities.
– We provide financial and non-financial support to vetted projects in Switzerland and around the world, acting as a supporter and meeting point towards other interest groups.
