Aiming to show that its carbon reduction efforts are not mere “climate-washing,” Apple has spotlighted how its Restore Fund is contributing to the restoration of a Brazilian rainforest, and attempts to save over 3,000 types of tree from extinction.

The Restore Fund was launched in 2021 as a partnership between Apple, Goldman Sachs, and Conservation International. It was originally a $200 million carbon removal initiative, but then in 2023, Apple doubled that to $400 million as part of its plans to go entirely carbon neutral.
Now Apple has highlighted how one specific result of its Restore Fund is being seen in South America’s Atlantic Forest. Of the estimated 5,000 different species of tree in this forest, two-thirds are at risk of extinction.
