Mission | Vision | Our History

Mission

Our mission is to restore the Earth’s essential forest and wetland ecosystems.

 

Restore the Earth Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation.

Vision

We envision the Earth in balance — its original vitality and natural abundance available to all, for generations to come.

 

Our History

Our strategy and business model were triggered by a natural disaster—one that only a comprehensive and sustained partnership between the public and private sectors could effectively address.

 


Our Founders were attending the White House Conference on Conservation when Hurricane Katrina slammed southern states in August 2005. The scale of the storm’s damage and devastation made it clear that no one entity – government, private nor individual—could effectively respond.

 


Our Founders worked alongside federal and state agencies, private, philanthropic, and community organizations to initiate landscape scale forest restoration, along the Gulf Coast. When the Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred, Restore the Earth and its partners were the first to employ restoration on oil-soiled wetlands.
