Amazon

As part of its plan to be net-zero carbon by 2040, Amazon is allocating $10 million to restore and conserve 4 million acres of forest in the Appalachians and other U.S. regions. The funding will initially support projects in Pennsylvania and Vermont that will help family forest owners sequester carbon, and support expansion across the Appalachians in a network of climate-resilient forests that scientists at The Nature Conservancy have identified as most able to thrive in the face of climate change. This is the first project from Amazon's $100 million Right Now Climate Fund, an initiative to remove carbon from the atmosphere through the restoration and conservation of forests, wetlands, grasslands and peatlands around the world.
