Every year, we lose approximately 1,000 hectares of land—the equivalent of 10 km² or nearly 1,400 football pitches. In total, more than 400,000 hectares are already directly affected by soil degradation, while fertile areas are at risk of becoming unsuitable for agriculture.

To help stop this process, ViitorPlus, through the Adoptă un Copac programme, is launching Romania’s largest national mobilisation campaign to combat soil degradation and desertification in the south of the country. Over the next five years, we aim to plant two million seedlings in Romania’s most vulnerable regions, restoring degraded ecosystems and protecting communities affected by drought.

Forests are one of the few solutions capable of stabilising the soil, reducing erosion, increasing moisture levels and creating the conditions for life to return. In the areas where we intervene, the land gradually begins to regain its capacity to regenerate.

Join Romania’s most important afforestation initiative and help us keep nature alive where it needs us most.

Together, we can stop Romania from turning into arid land.
