EcoTree concept

EcoTree, created in 2015, is a Breton startup specialized in sustainable development. It reclaims abandoned forests and old clear-cuts and replants them, favouring tree species adapted to the regions and mixing species to promote biodiversity.

Anyone, whether you're a citizen or a business, can become a tree owner to finance the renewal and sustainable management of these French forests.

EcoTree intends to involve the whole of society in renewing French forests and to enable everyone to take hands-on initiatives for the environment.

Forest needs in France and around the globe

• Every year, between 13 and 15 million of hectares of forest disappear in the world (equivalent to the surface area of Belgium). Deforestation is responsible for 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions (source IPCC).

• Every year, 80 million tons of CO2 are absorbed by French forests. Regular cutting keeps trees in a growth period that optimizes carbon capture.

• Today, the French wood sector is experiencing a shortage, even though France has the third largest forest area in the European Union and demand is constantly increasing.

• Within the next 10 years, France will need to have renewed 500,000 hectares of forest, which corresponds to only 3% of the current total surface area, to make up for the already-accumulated shortfall.
