Plant trees and restore forests
Our forests and woodlands are decreasing in size with great biodiversity loss as a serious consequence. Forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services like filter and buffer the water, control floods, and soil erosion, store carbon, and clean the air. Forests also provide food and materials for human survival and they are home to a countless number of species. Our forests also play an important part in recreation and cultural enrichment. Milkywire supports organizations working to protect and restore forests and to enhance or reintroduce native species of trees and plants in order to create a natural and sustainable restoration.
