More "Green Shoots" for 2025
Rewild Carbon is Durrell's wild, colourful and impactful carbon balancing programme. They reduce carbon in the atmosphere by rewilding threatened ecosystems which are rich in wildlife.
Le Gallais have partnered with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust for another year as part of our commitment to helping the environment, both in Jersey and overseas.
The first Rewild Carbon project is in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, which is one of the most species-rich habitats on the planet, yet only 6% of it remains, in scattered fragments. Here, new forest corridors are being planted which will create essential lifelines for wildlife.
During 2024, Le Gallais' investment in Rewild Carbon enabled the planting and nurture of approximately 152 trees in Brazil's Atlantic Forest area from a wide variety of native species. As they grow, these trees will absorb nearly 30 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
Our investment is also helping to provide sustainable livelihoods for the local communities, as well as creating vital forest habitat for the many threatened species of mammals and birds who live there.
