Treepak’s primary aim is to enable mass reforestation using novel techniques for mass producing and planting millions of trees.  The net global forest area is reducing by 7.3 million hectares per year, especially in South America and Africa, significantly contributing to the carbon in the atmosphere.  Treepak aims to reverse this trend of deforestation so that forests once more become a vital global carbon sink, capturing carbon from the atmosphere.

Forests provide an essential protective function that ranges from coastal protection to soil and water conservation.  Forests stabilise land helping prevent landslides, floods and soil erosion.  Where forests have been cleared there are often disastrous consequences with loss of life and severe degradation of land.  However, the area of forest designated for protective functions is increasing.  Regenerating areas through forestry stabilises land, brings land back into productive use and increases land values.

Conservation of biological diversity accounts for over 10% of the total forest area; and is a management objective for more than 25%.  To maintain and increase the biodiversity of forests Treepak is able to mass produce a wide variety of tree species appropriate for the selected environment.  Biodiversity is essential for the growth and stability of the forests, the development of forestry products; and is essential for the diversity of native animal and plant species.

The demand for forestry products continues to increase.  The growth of non-wood forest products is of particular importance.  Non-wood forest products provide food and medicines generating additional employment and incomes; as well as supporting conservation and biodiversity.  With the increase in value of regenerated lands the economic possibilities encourage forests to be grown and developed rather than destroyed.
