Tree Planting in Iceland | How Your Order Fights Climate Change

Help Us Fight Climate Change

The Mission Iurie Belegurschi's passion for the conservation of Iceland’s nature is an integral part of his photography. Driven by first-hand experience witnessing the retreat of Iceland’s glaciers, he has dedicated his mission and the mission of Iurie | Fine Art to the fight against climate change. This undertaking is part of everything we do, including in the print orders of our works. How Your Print Order Helps Offset your Carbon Footprint We are proud to have partnered with Kolviður, the Iceland Carbon Fund, to offset the carbon footprint of your print shipment through tree planting. Plant a Tree in Iceland The Iceland Carbon Fund will do this by planting a tree in your name as part of the county’s reforestation efforts. This operation is not only critical in the long-term fight against climate change but the short-term protection of the retreating glaciers. The more prints you order, the more trees will be planted in your name. Where Will Your Tree Be Planted? Forests are being regrown in several designated areas within Iceland. Thus far, this includes Geitasandur in the south, Úlfljótsvatn in the south-west, and near Húsavík in the north.

The Iceland Carbon Fund Reduces Carbon Emissions

The more trees planted, the more carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere.

Soil Erosion

Iceland’s top-soil is protected by deep rooted vegetation such as trees.

Glacial Retreat

Forests protect glaciers from the warm winds that expedite their decline.
