Fewer trees, a vulnerable world

The document describes the launch of TerraMatch, a platform designed to overcome funding delays in reforestation by using an algorithm to match vetted project developers with funders based on specific preferences such as geography and restoration methods. It aims to facilitate the growth of one trillion trees to combat climate change and support vulnerable communities.

• The loss of billions of trees annually threatens over 3 billion people by reducing food and water security and intensifying climate change through the release of carbon dioxide when trees are burned or cut down.
• Despite billions of dollars in commitments from funders, reforestation efforts are delayed because funders often lack the information needed to identify which projects are best equipped to scale up and be implemented correctly.
• TerraMatch utilizes an algorithm to pair funder preferences—including geography and land type—with projects that have been vetted by World Resources Institute expert staff, with the ultimate goal of growing one trillion trees.
