IKEA launches a global research lab on rainforest restoration
About 25 years ago, IKEA, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and the Sabah Foundation began restoring a degraded rainforest in Borneo through the Sow a Seed initiative. Since then, 18,500 hectares have been restored and protected. Building on evidence that rainforests can be regenerated, today IKEA and its partners launch the next phase, the Living Rainforest Restoration Lab, shifting the focus from on-site restoration to research and knowledge sharing to support global biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation.
