AN ACHIEVABLE
target

 

 
OUR GOAL:

TO BRING AN ADDITIONAL 1 BILLION HECTARES
OF FOREST TO THE PLANET ON AN AVAILABLE AREA EQUIVALENT

TO THE SIZE OF THE USA.
ALONG WITH REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Only through collective action on a very large scale can we achieve this target and have a significant impact.

Communicate the urgency and recruit new members in your networks and among your stakeholders, by using in your name the words of our call to action..

02.
Fund the restoration or creation of forests on the ground (within your means), via the movement and account for progress in a rigorous manner.

03.
Link your existing forest restoration or creation projects with those of the movement to join forces and connect our efforts.

If you fund projects:

Respect the essential quality criteria:
defence and restoration of biodiversity, social development, CO2 capture, education.

Make a long-term commitment
(at least 5 years) to guarantee the maturity and autonomy of the ecosystems

 

A shared
core belief

IMAGINE WAS BORN OUT OF THE RECOGNITION BY SCIENTISTS THAT PRESERVING AND REGENERATING FORESTS IS ONE OF THE MOST ACCESSIBLE AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR RESTORING ECOSYSTEMS, SAFEGUARDING BIODIVERSITY AND COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE, WHILE REDUCING OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT.

The innovation
of the IMAGINE movement
is to be a
DO-TANK

IMAGINE is neither
an NGO,
nor an association,
nor a foundation.

It is a collaborative approach of contribution, because only collective action and millions of connected efforts will allow us to see a global benefit.

ACCORDING TO SCIENTISTS
1 BILLION
HECTARES OF FOREST

could capture up to 30% of human-induced CO2 in the atmosphere.


This would help reduce the level of CO2 in the atmosphere by 25% - the equivalent of 2/3 of all emissions generated by humans since the onset of the industrial revolution.


And of course, there are all the other services that forests provide, including the emission of oxygen, maintaining the water supply, protecting biodiversity and job creation.
