This long-term project stands out in its approach to forest restoration. It goes beyond simply replanting clear-cut areas. Instead, it meticulously recreates the natural forest composition, fostering a more robust ecosystem. Notably, the project incorporates a variety of different tree species over the long-term, including the reintroduction of the European Yew to the southern Făgăraș Mountains. This restoration effort extends beyond the trees. By meticulously restoring the forest floor on former tractor tracks, the project prevents erosion after heavy rains and snowmelt. This, in turn, reduces mud input into river systems, safeguarding aquatic life. Additionally, by permanently protecting these restored forests, the initiative contributes significantly to conservation efforts. These diverse habitats provide valuable homes for a wide range of wildlife, from insects to mammals like deer species (cervids) commonly found in the Carpathians. This new ecosystem will connect seamlessly with surrounding habitats, forming a crucial stepping stone for the future Făgăraș National Park in the Southern Romanian Carpathians.

This long-term project is making a significant impact on local communities by creating sustainable and ethical employment opportunities. The project prioritizes hiring from the local population, with a large number of marginalized Roma families finding stable work in tree nurseries and forestry. All rangers and seasonal workers are hired locally, ensuring important income and jobs within the community. The project goes beyond job creation, tackling a range of social issues. Initiatives include providing food assistance to disadvantaged areas, offering online schooling for children, supporting health centers financially, and even aiding with waste management. Overall, the project's conservation program fosters a shift from an extractive to a conservation-oriented local economy. This includes promoting eco-tourism, supporting small local farmers, and encouraging local craftsmanship.
