Apple Launches Redwood Forest Conservation Project to Boost Carbon Neutrality
Apple has launched a new environmental initiative, announcing a project to protect and restore a redwood forest in California. This project is part of Apple's Restore Fund, which supports conservation and regenerative agriculture projects across six continents.
The tech giant is investing in the restoration and sustainable management of 14,000 acres of the Gualala River Forest in Mendocino County, California. Partnering with The Conservation Fund, Apple aims to strengthen the forest's carbon storage capacity, receiving carbon credits as the forest thrives.
This project is a significant step towards Apple's goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. The company plans to cut its emissions by 75% from its 2015 levels and use nature-based carbon removal solutions for the rest. Apple has already cut more than 60% of its emissions compared to 2015, with measurable gains in reducing emissions and increasing clean energy use. This forest project helps cover emissions that are otherwise hard to eliminate.
Apple's investment in the Gualala River Forest supports the protection of coastal redwoods and promotes biodiversity, clean water, and local economies. This project reflects a broader industry trend, with many companies relying on nature-based removals to meet their climate goals. Apple's commitment to this project demonstrates its dedication to environmental responsibility and sustainability.
