The Forests and Landscapes Fund (FLF) is dedicated to protecting and restoring the world's critical forest ecosystems that absorb 30% of global carbon emissions and support 80% of the world's biodiversity. Our mission is to combat the alarming rate of deforestation-equivalent to losing an area the size of Iceland each year-through strategic investments that preserve ecological balance and prevent climate acceleration. We deploy resources across three essential pillars: 1. Planting trees and restoring forests through reforestation of degraded areas from rainforests to mountain ranges 2. Protecting and restoring open landscapes by enhancing ecological health of grasslands, wetlands, and other vital habitats 3. Stopping deforestation and overexploitation through community-led conservation and sustainable land management practices By supporting both large and small organizations committed to forest conservation, the Forests and Landscapes Fund addresses the urgent need to preserve these vital ecosystems that are essential to our planet's survival. Through partnerships with conservation organizations across multiple continents, we work to ensure thriving forests and landscapes that can continue to sustain biodiversity, regulate climate, and support local communities for generations to come
