Aviva committed 38 million to a 100-year UK rainforest partnership. The long-term programme aims to restore lost habitats and develop new nature-based revenue streams

Aviva has committed 38 million to a 100-year partnership focused on restoring temperate rainforest across the UK. Under the Atlantic Rainforest Restoration Programme, Wildlife Trusts plan to restore 1,755 hectares of habitat that once covered one-fifth of the land from Cornwall to western Scotland but is now limited to approximately 1% of the UK. The restoration is projected to sequester 222,000 tonnes of carbon by 2050 and 800,000 tonnes over 100 years. The programme also aims to demonstrate how rewilding can support nature conservation at greater scale.
