Human life depends on land as much as the ocean for sustenance and livelihood. Plant life provides 80% of our human diet, and we rely on agriculture as an important economic resource and means of development. Forests account for 30% of the Earth’s surface, providing vital habitats for millions of species and important sources for clean air and water; as well as being crucial for combating climate change.
We understand the importance of sustainable environmental systems. ROCF aims to conserve and restore terrestrial ecosystems by engaging in a wide range of activities. We focus on reviving plants, removing plastic waste, and reducing pollution. Our intent is to reduce the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity, which are part of our common heritage for current and future generations. Our goal is aligned with SDG 13 and 15, which also aims to conserve and restore the use of terrestrial ecosystems such as forest, wetlands, drylands and mountains, emphasising the urgent need for action to reduce the natural loss of habitats and biodiversity.
