Go Forest provides a digital marketplace that links donors to vetted reforestation, agroforestry, and mangrove restoration projects, allowing users to purchase tree planting without a credit card. The platform monitors planted trees for 5–10 years using satellite imagery and field checks, and issues blockchain‑anchored annual certificates displayed on a real‑time impact dashboard. It also offers carbon‑credit integration and API access for corporate ESG reporting.

Problem
Global deforestation and ecosystem degradation reduce carbon sequestration capacity, threaten biodiversity, and limit the ability of companies and individuals to demonstrate credible environmental impact. Existing tree‑planting initiatives often lack transparent verification and ongoing monitoring, making it difficult to prove that planted trees survive and deliver promised benefits.
Solution
Go Forest operates a digital platform that connects donors with vetted reforestation, agroforestry, and mangrove restoration projects worldwide. Users select a project, specify the number of trees and planting frequency, and place an order without needing a credit card. Go Forest’s field partners plant the trees, then maintain and monitor them for 5–10 years, using satellite imagery and on‑site checks. All contributions are recorded on an impact dashboard that shows live tree counts, locations, and project updates. At the end of each year, a blockchain‑anchored certificate is issued to verify the cumulative impact. The platform also provides a digital communication library and carbon‑credit options to help users integrate tree‑planting into their sustainability reporting.
Target Audience
Primary customers are corporate sustainability teams and CSR managers seeking verifiable ESG outcomes, as well as environmentally conscious individuals looking to offset personal carbon footprints.
