Terraformation has partnered with ReClimate, a women-led NGO, to reforest 50 hectares of Ukraine’s Rivne region. This area was once a biodiverse woodland home to hundreds of species of plants, fungi, and birds. The moss-covered ground — aided by the forest’s humid climate — attracted animals such as deer, moose, goats, and wild boars.
Unsustainable agriculture and amber mining throughout the second half of the 20th century depleted the region’s soils and natural biomes. Now, much of the land has been converted to pine plantations. Forest loss has continued into the 21st century, and in the last two decades, the region has lost nearly 20% of its natural forest cover.
ReClimate will reforest 50 hectares with 100,000 trees of diverse native species, including silver birch, English oak, quince, spruce, alder, and aspen.
The ReClimate team has continued its forest restoration work in the face of war.

ReClimate's staff have left bomb shelters during the day to care for restoration sites. Our software enables the team to accurately track planting and species distribution.
As single-species tree plantations have become common in the region for timber operations, much of the region’s natural biodiversity has come under threat.
Terraformation partnered with ReClimate to restore 50 hectares of native forest in northwest Ukraine.
