Romania’s forest cover has now fallen to 29%, while the recommendation of the Romanian Academy, the European Union and scientists is to reach 40%. Unfortunately, not all felled forests are replanted, and the effects are becoming increasingly visible. We have therefore resumed planting out of necessity and at your request.

We plant only on private land where we have a contract guaranteeing that the forest will never be cut down.

Considering the average of 157.5 hectares of new forests established over the last 2 years, it follows that the optimum forest cover of 40% will be reached in 16577 years. We decided to get involved ourselves in 2019, and since then we have planted every year in the Făgăraș Mountains, in an area clear-felled 10 years ago where nature has not been able to recover on its own. The clear-felled area covers approximately 100 hectares, and you can see it in the video or on Google Earth. It is a wild area of high conservation value that has become a fragmented habitat, which we will bring to the best possible condition.

This year, we are planting in the clear-felled valley in Iezer – Păpușa, which you can see in the photo above.

Agent Green’s objective is to increase Romania’s forest cover to 40% by 2030. The remaining 13% needed to reach this objective must cover important fragmented habitats as well as lowland areas and green barriers in key locations.

Every year, 20755 citizens residing in Romania die because of pollution, including 15126 because of air pollution. Let’s lend a hand: get involved by promoting the 40% campaign, taking part in or organising planting activities, or supporting the events we organise in spring and autumn.

Last year, with the help of the Agent Green community, we planted 15 000 saplings, covering three hectares. This year, we hope for better conditions and fewer restrictions so that we can reach the target of at least ten hectares planted.

Based on estimates and previous experience, one sapling, all the planting logistics and maintenance for the next 7 years, the period our specialists consider optimal for secure establishment, cost approximately 25 lei or 5 euros.
