Project description: Temperate rainforest is a globally rare habitat, represented in Wales by isolated remnants of the “Celtic rainforest”. It is species rich and stores substantial carbon. An innovative carbon financed project led by the Wildlife Trusts, in partnership with Aviva, aims to restore this habitat to benefit biodiversity and sequester carbon, while working closely with local communities.
