Protecting Reserves, Protecting
the Planet
The Landscape Care Initiative (LCI) partners with tropical nature reserves and indigenous territories to protect biodiversity and carbon. Our reserves are on the front line of the climate and biodiversity crises — and they need reliable funding to survive.
Why Reserves Matter
Forests Are the World’s Natural Defense
Tropical forests store 200+ tons
of CO₂ per hectare of mature forest.
Reforested areas add 5–10 tons
of CO₂ per hectare per year.
They are biodiversity hotspots, protecting species and ecosystems.
They provide resilience against droughts, fires, and deforestation.
