Frontierra identify, quantify and report deforestation, reforestation and carbon dynamics in the operations and supply chains of agricultural producers, cooperatives, traders, purchasers and financiers.
Reforestation is important because it restores ecosystems, absorbs carbon dioxide, and supports biodiversity, contributing to climate mitigation and overall environmental health.

TNFD is developing a risk management and disclosure framework for organisations to report and act on evolving nature-related risks.
