Following the launch of the Global Reforestation Organization (GRO) Directory in November, we have received funding to manage an update for 2026! Please contact consider nominating an organization if you think our directory has overlooked any major or newly established organizations.

The results from our 2024-2025 survey of reforestation intermediary organizations are now published in Journal of Environmental Management! The article reports on how organizations approach developing and adopting standards of practice for their projects with local communities and partners, carbon credit generation, distributing costs and benefits to landholders and local communities, and overall commitments to monitoring. Our findings are also available on the Mongabay Global Reforestation Organization Directory, which we hope will continue to be a living representation of the commitments of leading organizations to continue prioritizing the integrity and transparency of this global movement.
