Our Mission

Restore Nature Foundation (RNF) is an NGO with the mission to restore forest ecosystems and enable people to take regenerative action now!

We plant using the most impactful regenerative methods to bring back resilient forests. We facilitate educational events to spread regenerative knowledge. We support landowners through regenerative consultancy.

We operate mostly in Southern Portugal, one of the driest, most fire prone and degraded areas of Europe. On the frontline of Europe’s desertification processes, we use nature’s power to bring back the forests that were once here, and restore balance for planet Earth.

Healthy forests ecosystems are vital for:

  • Restoring biodiversity
  • Creating animal habitat
  • Restoring water cycles
  • Creating fertile soil
  • Storing massive amounts of CO2
  • Producing an abundance of food and the air we breath
  • Regulating temperatures
  • Creating food and natural resilience 
  • Restoring balance for planet Earth

Adopt your piece of forest

Adopt squared meters of land on which we will plant a ‘nest’: a micro ecosystem of native trees and plants based on regenerative principles. For only €10 you can adopt a square meter that has a regenerative impact for years and which contributes to bringing back biodiverse forest ecosystems to one of the most degraded areas of Europe!

Core Pillars

We imitate the forest dynamics, layers and species. We plant in high density, with high native biodiversity, taking into account the light needs of the different species (stratification), the life cycles of species (natural succession), soil life mobilization and protection and careful management to boost the forest systems.

Restore Nature Foundation (RNF)

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.
