About TerraformationTerraformation is a small startup team made up of people who passionately care about climate change. We believe climate scientists when they tell us time is running out for human beings to preserve climate conditions that support the continuation of our species. We are working to save the world from excess carbon emissions.
There are many mechanisms, programs, and agreements that governments can implement to reduce carbon emissions and to sequester atmospheric carbon. However, we believe that none of these options are currently being executed at sufficient pace or scale to avert climate disaster. Terraformation aims to focus the world on pragmatically doing-what-can-be-done rather than hypothetical doomsday what-if scenarios.
The most immediate, affordable, and scalable solution to climate change is to plant an enormous number of trees. Terraformation will, directly or indirectly, create 3 billion acres of new forest land within the next 30 years in order to re-absorb 45B tons per year of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
It is Terraformation’s mission to accelerate natural carbon capture through forestry tech. We are committed to assisting partners remove bottlenecks to tree planting.
