SA Impact Forestry Fund (SAIFF II) is planting sustainable forests on grazing land in Paraguay that has been used for cattle grazing for decades. Biodiversity is under pressure, and the climate footprint is enormous.
The project covers 44,200 hectares where millions of trees will be planted, while 30% of the area is reserved for nature restoration and protection. Over the next seven years, forests are expected to sequester 8.8 million tonnes of CO2 within the country. At the same time, the project is expected to create more than 1,300 jobs in rural areas of Paraguay.
