Restore Nature Foundation
Restore Nature Foundation (RNF) is an NGO that restores forest ecosystems in Southern Portugal: one of the driest, most fire risky and degraded areas of Europe. Here, on the frontline, we are dedicated to use the power of nature to turn things around.
We empower local projects and land regenerators to realize regional impact. Together we work on regenerative solutions to combat desertification and restore nature.
Forests ecosystems are vital for:
- Preserving water and biodiversity
- Creating fertile soil
- Storing massive amounts of CO2
- Creating the air we breath and many other products
- Connecting us to our natural environment
