I am raising funds to buy forest land in Lithuania, protect it from clear-cutting, and restore damaged forests so biodiversity can return and ecosystems can grow resilient again. This fund is to aquire the first forest in my area that is up for sale at the moment.

Lithuania’s forests are alive — but many are treated as short-term resources instead of living ecosystems. Clear-cutting, monoculture forestry, and premature harvesting destroy the complex relationships between trees, fungi, insects, birds, mammals, soil, and water. Once these connections are broken, forests become weaker, more vulnerable to disease, drought, and storms, and far less capable of supporting life. I started this initiative to offer a different path.

The goal is simple and concrete:

I raise funds to buy forest land, permanently protect it from clear-cutting, and restore damaged forests by allowing natural regeneration and ecological recovery.

This is not about planting fast-growing trees. This is about giving forests time.

When forests are allowed to grow old:

Biodiversity increases naturally

Soil life recovers and stores more carbon

Water cycles stabilize

Forests become resilient instead of fragile

Wildlife returns without human control.

Every contribution helps secure land that will remain forest — not plantation — for generations to come.

This is land for life, not profit.

How the money will be used

Purchase forest land in Lithuania

Legal protection against clear-cutting

Ecological assessment of damaged areas

Long-term restoration through natural regeneration

Transparent reporting of every step

Why I’m doing this

Because once a forest is gone, it cannot be rushed back.

Because biodiversity is not decoration — it is resilience.

Because future generations deserve living forests, not empty landscapes.

If you believe forests have the right to grow old, I invite you to become a guardian of this land.

Transparency & Accountability

I commit to full transparency. What I will share publicly:

• Proof of land purchase (documents or notarized confirmation)
• Maps and photos of acquired forest areas
• Clear explanation of protection status
• Periodic updates (photos + written reports)
• Explanation of setbacks if they occur

What I will NOT do:

No commercial logging

No resale for profit

Legal structure: Forest purchased in my name with commitment of protection. If the project grows, I intend to transfer forest ownership to a protected foundation or land trust to guarantee long-term protection.

The project will have different phases:

Phase 1 – Land Acquisition

Identify ecologically valuable or threatened forest plots

Prioritize mixed, older, or damaged forests at risk of clear-cutting

Purchase land and secure legal ownership

Impact: Immediate prevention of logging

Phase 2 – Protection

Register forest under non-commercial management

Exclude clear-cutting and monoculture forestry

Minimal human intervention

Impact: Ecosystem stabilizes and starts recovering

Phase 3 – Restoration

Allow natural regeneration

Remove invasive species if needed

Leave dead wood for fungi and insects

Monitor biodiversity return

Impact: Self-sustaining, resilient forest

Phase 4 – Long-term Stewardship

Periodic ecological monitoring

Public reporting and education

Potential cooperation with schools, scientists or conservation groups

Impact: Permanent biodiversity gains

Personal statement

I am starting this initiative because I believe forests are not resources to be managed, but living systems that deserve time, space, and respect. I am not an organization, and I am not backed by large institutions. I am an individual choosing to act where I can — by protecting real pieces of forest land from clear-cutting and allowing them to grow old again.

What I see in many forests today is not a lack of trees, but interruption. Forests are cut before they can mature, before relationships between trees, fungi, insects, animals, soil, and water can fully form. Biodiversity cannot be rushed or engineered — it emerges when life is given continuity.

Integrity matters deeply to me. I commit to acting transparently and responsibly, sharing what land is purchased, how it is protected, and how funds are used. I will not promise more than I can deliver, and I will place the wellbeing of the forest above visibility, speed, or growth.

This initiative is not about control or optimization. It is about stepping back and giving living systems the one thing they consistently ask for: time. I do this because once a forest is cut, it cannot be rushed back. Protecting what still lives is an act of care — and responsibility — toward future generations. If you choose to support this initiative, you are not donating to an idea.

You are helping protect living land.
