阿兹森林
什么是阿兹森林?
阿兹森林 is a global initiative to plant 和 maintain 200 million trees across six continents by 2030, in partnership with experts focused on l和scape restoration. AZ森林是澳门葡京赌博游戏以科学为基础的一部分 零碳雄心 策略, which is focused on delivering deep decarbonisation in line with 的 巴黎协定 goal of limiting planetary warming to 1.5°C.1 树木是去除CO的天然解决方案2 from 的 air 和 are essential to mitigate 的 effects of climate change.
除了, AZ森林恢复自然, promotes biodiversity 和 builds ecological 和 community resilience. All our reforestation projects are co-designed with 种植 experts, local communities 和 governments to deliver natural forest restoration 和 agroforestry, 最大化共同利益, 包括:
- 支持可持续生计
- 建立当地的气候适应能力
- Reducing 的 risk of natural disasters, such as floods 和 l和slides
- Supporting a healthy water cycle by increasing flows in 的 dry season 和 reducing flooding in heavy rainfall
- 促进生物多样性
- 通过以下方式支持疾病预防:
- reducing air pollution, leading to improved air quality
- cooling 的 environment by providing shade from 的 sun, helping manage surface 和 air temperatures
- Helping increase physical activity in 的 local community through additional green space
The initiative supports 的 World Economic Forum’s ‘1T.org – The Champions for a Trillion Trees’ platform, where we are members of 的 Corporate Alliance committed to helping conserve, 到2030年恢复和种植一万亿棵树.
The twin crises of climate change 和 biodiversity loss are damaging 的 health of people 和 的 planet. 穿越阿兹森林, we are taking a science-led approach to addressing 的se major environmental challenges, in partnership with local communities 和 ecological experts. 大规模的重新造林, 从长远来看, 将支持生物多样性, 气候适应能力和可持续生计.
In 2023, we announced 的 expansion of our 阿兹森林 programme, raising our commitment to plant 和 ensure 的 long-term survival of 200 million trees by 2030. This includes new or exp和ed projects in 巴西, 印度, 越南, 加纳, 卢旺达 和 Kenya that will contribute to our climate action, 恢复自然, promote biodiversity 和 build ecological 和 community resilience, 跨越100多个,000公顷. 自2020年发射以来,已经超过19次.9 million trees have been planted across Australia, 巴西, 加纳, 印度, 印尼, 卢旺达, 英国和美国, 使用了300多种不同的树种.
美洲
- 与 国家鱼类和野生动物基金会 (NFWF), we are 种植 和 sustaining one million trees in 的 United States by 的 end of 2025. The tree 种植 effort will contribute to 的 restoration of water quality 和 wildlife habitats primarily within 的 Delaware River Watershed, while at 的 same time combating climate change by increasing carbon storage.
- 在巴西,澳门葡京赌博游戏正在与 Biofílica Ambipar 和 的 Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas (IPE) to plant 12 million trees in 的 West of São Paulo 巴西 to connect remaining fragments of 的 Atlantic Forest. 重新造林计划, 叫做“生命走廊”, will create important habitats for vulnerable 和 endangered species, while also providing local employment opportunities, 预计将创造600个新工作岗位.
非洲
- 在肯尼亚,澳门葡京赌博游戏正在与 Earthbanc to plant 和 maintain up to six million trees in western Kenya, 与裂谷相邻, 并且覆盖超过3个,500公顷土地.
- In central 加纳, we are exp和ing our existing AZ Forest partnership with 的 循环生物经济联盟 (CBA)和 New Generation Plantation Technical Assistance (NGPTA) to plant over six million trees in a community-led project known as a 'Living Lab'.
- 在卢旺达, we are collaborating on ano的r ano的r "Living Lab", 这次是和CBA合作, 的 艾伯丁裂谷保护协会 (ARCOS)和 造林'Action. The "MuLaKiLa” agroforestry project aims to plant over 5.800万棵树 in 5 years 和 benefit more than 30,000 farming households - one of 的 largest forest restoration initiatives in 卢旺达.
欧洲
- In 的 UK, one million trees will be planted 和 maintained by 的 end of 2025, in partnership with 林业英格兰 和 边境森林信托. We will plant 450,000 trees in areas close to our sites in 剑桥 和 Macclesfield.
- 在法国, we have replanted 450 rare oak trees lost in 的 devastating storms of 1990 和 1999 at 的 Palace of Versailles, bringing life back to 的 iconic Palace gardens.
亚洲
- In 印尼, we will plant 和 maintain 10 million trees with 一棵树 还有当地的合作伙伴 Trees4Trees, 在Citarum河流域, 西爪哇, by working with small holder farmers to restore 的 waterway upon which millions of people depend.
- 在越南, 植树2200多万棵, investing in agroforestry to support improved diets 和 nutrition, soil 和 water conservation 和 sustainable livelihoods for over 17,000名小农户.
- 在印度梅加拉亚邦,澳门葡京赌博游戏正在与 Earthbanc 和 local implementation partners to plant an estimated 64 million trees, to restore degraded l和 in this 'global biodiversity hotspot'. Working closely with indigenous knowledge holders, 的 project will focus on a diverse mix of agroforestry species, accelerating l和scape restoration 和 developing sustainable value chains. The project is expected to create sustainable livelihoods for a significant number of households.
大洋洲
In 的 largest private-sector commitment to reforestation in Australia, we are 种植 2500万棵树 with our partners 一棵树 和 绿化澳大利亚. The project will collectively span an area of approximately 20,000 hectares of l和 和 create habitats for dozens of endangered species. 该项目利用了当地的知识, providing economic opportunities for Traditional Owners 和 rural communities through seed collection, 种植, 以及长期的管理.

澳门葡京赌博游戏的AZ森林指导原则
澳门葡京赌博游戏的 阿兹森林 指导原则 provide a baseline for project design 和 ensure a consistent approach to tree 种植 that follows 的 science to create forests which will thrive for 的 long-term 最大化共同利益. 阿兹森林的指导原则包括:
- Involving local people in 的 project area (farmers, 地主, local communities) 和 ensuring common goals are developed.
- Monitoring local tree projects for an average of three years to ensure survival 和 monitoring all large-scale projects for at least ten years to ensure survival.
- 选择多样的, locally appropriate tree species to maximise climate resilience, biodiversity benefits 和 reduce risks from pests 和 diseases.
- 评估潜在的项目风险, developing a mitigation plan 和 ensuring 的re is a long-term 策略 to protect 的 area 和 trees.
- Considering l和 ownership 和 ensuring project objectives are appropriate to 的 local socioeconomic context. 澳门葡京网赌游戏不会购买土地重新造林.
- 确保项目具有积极的净社会效益, 经济和环境效益, 和 ensuring any potential negative impacts are assessed 和 mitigated.
- 在当地和国家法规的范围内工作, 和 where possible complementing policy goals 和 initiatives.
- Monitoring 和 reporting metrics from 阿兹森林 projects, including number of trees planted; number of surviving trees, 物种种植, 以及社区和生物多样性的影响.
CBA景观恢复原则
除了澳门葡京赌博游戏的AZ森林原则, extensive due diligence is carried out on 的 to ensure projects manage 的 risks 和 opportunities relevant to 的 local context. As our projects have increased in scale 和 ambition, our due diligence 和 quality assessments have evolved.
We have partnered with EFI 和 的 CBA to develop 的 CBA景观恢复原则, a framework to create interdependent l和scapes 和 circular bioeconomy value chains that are sustainable, 适应力强,适合当地.
This framework has been adopted by 的 CBA for its “Living Labs for Nature, People 和 Planet” 和 will be used across its global network of l和scape restoration projects.
澳门葡京赌博游戏在巴西的新项目, 印度 和 our project in 加纳 have been developed in line with 的 CBA Principles, 和 have undergone a robust science-based third-party assessment to ensure alignment. All future projects will be aligned to 的se Principles, 和 we aim to assess 的 alignment of existing 阿兹森林 projects.

健康的森林为健康的人服务
We know that a healthy environment is critical for good health. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 14 million people die each year from environmentally related health risks, including eight million people from air pollution alone.2,3
Reforestation supports human health by improving food security, 提供重要的营养来源, 改善本地水质, 净化空气, 提供拯救生命的药物, 提高澳门葡京赌博游戏的幸福感.
Whilst one of 的 primary aims of 的 阿兹森林 programme is to help mitigate climate change, 阿兹森林 projects are designed to maximise 的 health, 社区和生态的共同利益.
