OUR
PROJECTS
Forests trap carbon dioxide in their bark, wood and roots.
Forests are recognized as a leading solution in the fight against rising CO2 levels worldwide. EcoStay projects support local wildlife and forestry conservation in two essential ways; new planting as well as preservation of existing old growth forests. New trees take years to develop their carbon-absorbing powers; mature forests are already doing the job. Existing forests are also home to a diversity of plants and animals, some of which are endangered. Sadly, logging and development are depleting our forests at an alarming rate and projects like these seek to slow and prevent this loss.
