Size of Wales

Who we are

The ‘size of Wales’ is often used as a measure of global deforestation, we are turning that negative into positive action. We provide funding and expertise to local and indigenous communities in tropical regions to support them to secure and sustain their precious forests, grow more trees and establish sustainable livelihoods. Through education, community engagement and advocacy, we also raise awareness in Wales of the importance of tropical forests and trees in tackling climate change and nature loss. We inspire people to see that they can be part of the solution.

Our Vision

A world where people, trees and biodiverse forests thrive together in a safe climate. Our Purpose To support communities to secure, sustain and restore tropical forests as part of our national response to climate change.

Our Goals

• Support community projects that secure, and sustain over the long term, an area of tropical forest at least the size of Wales (at least 2 million hectares)
• Support communities to tackle climate change and develop sustainable livelihoods by 2 growing millions of trees
• Move Wales towards eliminating imported deforestation from our economy
• Inspire people across Wales to reduce their forest footprint, support tropical forests and take climate action
