#phantom forests

We're using cutting-edge tech to build a forest that lasts

Across the globe so-called "phantom forests" are appearing, areas where trees are planted but didn't survive, meaning they exist only on paper.

This usually happens because many projects focus on the number of trees planted rather than how many actually survive.

We're heading to the hills near Lake Victoria, Kenya, where deforestation is causing serious problems for the ecosystem and local communities.

To give this ecosystem a chance, we're not just planting and hoping for the best. Together with veritree and Earthlungs, we're using cutting-edge tech to build a forest that lasts.
