  • Project description
    CO2OL Biodiversity Reforestation is the reforestation of former fallow land in Vietnam through the predominant planting of native species with the long-term goal to create a species-rich mixed forest. The project helps to build up ecological structures in areas that suffered from major battles during the Vietnam War or were otherwise massively deforested. The CO2OL Biodiversity forests are not subjected to commercial forestry or thinning. The plantations exclusively serve the purpose of storing carbon and creating ecosystems as a habitat for several endangered species.
