At Forestmatic, our commitment to ecological restoration is not just a vision but a tangible reality.
As we apply for the Legambiente Innovation award, we proudly present our significant environmental impact across key metrics, underscoring our dedication to a greener planet.
Tree Planting Milestones: In 2021, Forestmatic embarked on its journey by planting its first 29,832 trees, while testing the technology and putting the foundations of our digital solution.
This initial effort set the tone for our commitment to reforestation and ecosystem restoration.
Building upon this foundation, our momentum accelerated in 2022, with an awe-inspiring 183,232 trees planted. These milestones reflect the tangible action we take towards reversing deforestation, one tree at a time.
Land Area Restoration: Our impact extends beyond tree numbers, encompassing land area restoration. In 2021, we restored 10 hectares of degraded land to its natural state.
This feat, achieved through meticulous planning and execution, exemplifies our dedication to revitalizing ecosystems. Our progress escalated in 2022, with an impressive 65 hectares of land rehabilitated.
These restored landscapes not only sequester carbon but also provide habitats for countless species, while improving soil conditions.
Carbon Sequestration: The hallmark of our environmental impact lies in carbon sequestration - a vital strategy in combatting climate change. In 2021, we achieved the sequestration of 1,888.37 tCO2, a testament to our efforts in enhancing carbon sinks.
This achievement underscores our role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2022, our commitment to carbon sequestration grew exponentially, with a staggering 194,061 tCO2 sequestered.

Recognized Actor of the U.N. Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (https://www.decadeonrestoration.org/partners) Impact assessment certificate from Google for Sustainable Development Nominated a Tech for Good startup by X4I (https://x4i.org/all/tech-solution/q-forestmatic)

As part of the Google Startups for Sustainable Development we have undergone our first impact assessment in 2023, resulting in a certificate issued by Google for Startups, who thanks to the help of the startup Treety, have assessed our commitment towards reporting our achievements within the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

Thanks to our revolutionary approach we are switching the focus from planting trees to growing them, from certificates and press releases, with real time data and actionable reporting.
Our infrastructure allow us to directly involve the communities and organizations we operate with by supporting and rewarding them for their tracking operations, while providing investors the possibility to closely follow their investment and understand the environmental benefits achieved.

Assessment - we asses every single tree status before digitalizing it and marketing its impact. Infrastructure - our digital infrastructure can be scaled to different regions and ecosystems, having proved to be effective across Spain, Uganda and Thailand.

Data - visual proof and verification, are sustained by long term drone monitoring at unprecedented resolution levels that allow us to match each location and picture of a tree with it's precise aerial representation after 12-18 months of growth.

We are collaborating with 5 different NGOs, providing them with funds necessary to involve local communities.
So far we pride ourselves in having involved over 300 local families, from adult farmers and landowners to youth members – 60% of whom are women – with digital tracking training from our partners.
