"Planting a trillion trees isn't just about seeds in the ground. It's about solving bottlenecks like funding gaps that leave 95% of qualified forestry teams without resources, seed shortages, lack of infrastructure and technology, gaps in tracking and verification. Terraformation built a support system that includes modular seed banks, solar-powered nurseries, open source forest management software, which is called Terraware and a seed to carbon forest accelerator that's modeled on tech startup accelerators."
"Since founding Terraformation, Yishan has enabled the planting of over 4.7 million trees across 394 species, established 19 seed banks and 21 nurseries and created more than 798 jobs. Unlike commercial timber plantations that prioritize fast-growing monocultures, Terraformation focuses on biodiverse native forests. Native tree species can support an order of magnitude more life than non-native species because they've co-evolved over millions of years."
Terraformation targets restoration of 3 billion acres of native forest by solving practical bottlenecks that prevent large-scale reforestation. The organization addresses funding gaps that leave about 95% of qualified forestry teams without resources, seed shortages, limited infrastructure, and weaknesses in tracking and verification. The approach combines modular seed banks, solar-powered nurseries, open-source forest management software called Terraware, and a seed-to-carbon accelerator modeled on startup accelerators. The focus on biodiverse native forests supports far more life than monocultures. Terraformation has enabled planting over 4.7 million trees across 394 species, established 19 seed banks, 21 nurseries, and created more than 798 jobs.
