The Global Heritage Reforestation Initiative (GRI) is planing to reforest native forests in Bermuda, Hawaii and the South Pacific Islands.
The Global Heritage Reforestation Initiative (GRI) is planting native forests in Oahu, Hawaii. The region possesses stunning levels of biodiversity, including an array of endangered wildlife.
Global deforestation rates have accelerated over the past few years, driven by large-scale farm and mining operations, as well as illegal logging. Given current trajectories, a devastating loss of native forest is predicted to occur within the next 20 years.
GRI is poised to return these tropical forests back to its glory.
Plant a Heritage Tree
List of available trees for our Reforestation Initiative program:
Big efforts will be placed by Global Heritage Reforestation Initiative Ltd. on the reforestation of the “Bermuda Cedar”, also referred as “Bermuda Juniper”, once covered most of the island, but 99% had been lost through deforestation and insect devastations.
A threat to the continued existence of Bermuda's junipers arose in the mid-1940s when the species was attacked by two species of scale insects, Lepidosaphes newsteadi and Carulaspis minima, which were unintentionally introduced from the United States' mainland during the wartime construction of US airbases in Bermuda.
The forest ecosystem in Hawaii is at risk from not only depletion, but extinction. Endemic species of trees found nowhere else on earth such as koa, lama, iliahi, kaulia and ohi’a lehua are being deforested at an astronomical rate. With Global Heritage Reforestation Initiative's project "Plant One Million Trees", you can contribute to the conservation of these precious resources by planting one of these rare trees. Our goal is to reforest areas of the aina (land) and malama (steward) the trees for generations to come.
The Global Heritage Reforestation Initiative Ltd. is planting a native forest on the islands of Samoa. The islands of Samoa comprise the last large areas of land east of Australia in the central Pacific. It supports a diversity of plant and animal genera not found further to the east as well as a rich, endemic flora and fauna of their own. About 80 percent of Samoa's lowland rain forests have been lost during the 3,000 year history of human habitation.
