*Estimated carbon sequestration is 20 kg of CO2e per tree accumulated over five years, based on low estimates of dry and humid tropical growth rates from global restoration databases.
Actual carbon impact of each Priceless Planet Coalition restoration project will be assessed after five years based on data collected throughout the monitoring process.
Conservation International is partnering with community fisheries organizations in order to restore flooded gallery forest within the boundaries of each community’s area. The aim is to provide vital habitat for fish and wild animals, while enhancing livelihood options of the communities and increasing their resilience to the impact of climate change.
Active tree planting
The planting of seedlings over an area with little or no forest canopy to meet specific goals.
Assisted natural regeneration
The exclusion of threats (i.e., grazing, fire, invasive plants) that had previously prevented the natural regrowth of a forested area from seeds already present in the soil or from natural seed dispersal from nearby trees.
Direct seeding
The active dispersal of seeds (preferably ecologically diverse, native seed mixes) that will allow for natural regeneration to occur, provided the area is protected from disturbances. This is a differentiated category from planting young trees.
Majority native floodplain species, such as:
