Reforest the Tropics is an applied research organization working to mitigate global warming through sustainable forestry and long-term, verifiable carbon sequestration.
We have over a decade of experience in tropical forest R&D under the UNFCCC AIJ pilot phase framework. We are a partner of the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
- Costa Rican forest planted to sequester carbon dioxide and help mitigate global warming
The RTT Model
Reforest the Tropics (RTT) aims to offset US-generated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by planting new tropical forests in Costa Rica. With donations from US sponsors, we work with participating Costa Rican farmers to reforest tropical pastures, sequester carbon, and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases.
RTT presently balances the CO2 emissions of over 50 US sponsors with more than 250 acres of carbon-offset forests on 9 farms in Costa Rica. We manage forests for individuals and organizations including the Superior Nut Company, Connecticut College, the Home Depot, the Mohegan Sun Casino, the Foley Family, the Curtis Packaging Company, the Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative, and the Triumvirate Environmental Corporation, among others.
Learn more about our forests and our participants and projects. Feel free to contact us for additional information.
