The strategy aims to protect and restore more than 330,000 acres of natural forests in deforested landscapes, and to plant millions of trees in sustainably managed commercial tree farms on another 330,000 acres of previously deforested and degraded land.

The strategy is also designed to generate millions of high-integrity removal carbon credits, with large-scale nature-based carbon removal credit agreements already signed with companies including Microsoft and Meta.
