Clean Air

Trees absorb CO₂ and release clean oxygen, improving the air we breathe every day.

Biodiversity

Forests provide shelter, food, and habitat for countless species — restoring life where it’s disappearing.

Climate Stability

Trees regulate temperature, reduce heatwaves, and help prevent floods and droughts.

Healthy Soil

Roots anchor the land, prevent erosion, and restore soil fertility for food production.

Why tree?

Why G1F Chooses Dual-Impact Trees

Not all trees are equal. To break the poverty–deforestation cycle, G1F selects species that can heal degraded land, absorb carbon fast, and create real income for local families. We call these Dual-Impact Trees.
