Why Support Us Restore Ireland, Northern Ireland, Brazil and Beyond?
The ecological crisis caused by deforestation in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Brazil, and across the globe reflects the interconnected social, environmental, and economic struggles faced by many nations. Habitat loss and ecosystem degradation are driving the sixth mass extinction. From the rainforests of the Amazon to the forests of Southeast Asia and the grasslands of Africa, ecosystems are under severe threat. The need for global restoration and regeneration has never been more urgent.
We encourage you to explore Google Earth and witness the state of ecosystems worldwide with your own eyes. Over 50%—if not more—of the planet's soil has been degraded, and wildlife and human communities are struggling in every corner of the globe.
This pattern of ecological degradation is widespread. Over 90% of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil has been lost, and countless other regions face similar crises, from disappearing rainforests to vanishing grasslands and wetlands.
Why Restore Ireland & Northern Ireland and Beyond?
Irish & Northern Irish landscapes have faced centuries of deforestation, agricultural intensification, and urbanisation, leaving large areas degraded. Today, only 11% of Ireland and around 8% of Northern Ireland are forested.
This pattern of ecological degradation is mirrored globally. Over 90% of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil has been lost, and countless other countries face similar crises, from disappearing rainforests to vanishing grasslands and wetlands.
The ecological crisis caused by deforestation in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Brazil, and across the globe mirrors the social, environmental and economic struggles faced by many nations. Habitat loss and ecosystem degradation are accelerating the sixth mass extinction. Whether in the rainforests of the Amazon, the forests of Southeast Asia, or the grasslands of Africa, ecosystems are under threat. The need for global restoration and regeneration is urgent.
Deforestation and environmental exploitation have reshaped our planet, leaving scars across continents. In Brazil, over 90% of the Atlantic Forest has already been destroyed, and the Amazon—one of the world's most vital ecosystems—is rapidly heading toward the same fate. Driven by conventional agriculture, mining, and unsustainable development, this devastation not only threatens biodiversity but also disrupts global climate systems. This pattern of destruction is not isolated to Brazil. Across Europe, centuries of deforestation have stripped countries like Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Britain of their natural forests, leaving degraded landscapes and fragile ecosystems. In Egypt, desertification has intensified as water sources shrink, and in Australia, deforestation for grazing and logging continues to endanger unique wildlife and ancient habitats.
What We Want to Do
At Caring Without Borders, our mission is to restore and regenerate as many degraded areas as possible, transforming both rural and urban spaces across Ireland and Northern Ireland. By focusing on deforested landscapes, over-farmed agricultural areas, and neglected spaces—from abandoned parks to waterways and alleyways—we aim to create vibrant hubs of biodiversity, education, and regeneration.
These revitalised spaces will support preservation, research, leisure, and economic growth, bringing life and joy back to every corner of the country.

Why Regenerate Ireland & Northern Ireland?
Ireland/Northern Ireland landscapes have faced centuries of deforestation, agricultural intensification, and urbanisation, leaving large areas degraded. Today, only 11% of Ireland and around 8% of Northern Ireland are forested.
With a combined land area of 7,027,300 hectares in Ireland and 1,414,800 hectares in Northern Ireland, there are vast opportunities for restoration in certain areas. This includes abandoned farmlands, deforested woodlands, and drained peatlands, as well as overlooked public spaces like parks, alleyways, and urban green spaces. These specific areas hold the potential to be transformed into thriving ecosystems that support biodiversity, community development, and environmental resilience, enhancing both rural and urban by making nature more accessible.
🌍 Our Wish 🌿
At Caring Without Borders, our mission is to restore and protect the ecosystems that sustain us—from the tiniest seeds to the tallest trees. We invite you to support this mission in any way you can—whether by sponsoring land for restoration, donating plants, seeds, tools, or funds, or by hiring our services, purchasing our products, or volunteering. Every action brings us closer to a healthier, more regenerative planet.
Let us know how you'd like to contribute, and we’ll show you the impact your support will make.

A Global Crisis of Deforestation and Degradation
Deforestation and environmental exploitation have reshaped our planet, leaving scars across continents. In Brazil, over 90% of the Atlantic Forest has already been destroyed, and the Amazon—one of the world's most vital ecosystems—is rapidly heading toward the same fate. Driven by conventional agriculture, mining, and unsustainable development, this devastation not only threatens biodiversity but also disrupts global climate systems.
This pattern of destruction is not isolated to Brazil. Across Europe, centuries of deforestation have stripped countries like Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Britain of their natural forests, leaving degraded landscapes and fragile ecosystems. In Egypt, desertification has intensified as water sources shrink, and in Australia, deforestation for grazing and logging continues to endanger unique wildlife and ancient habitats.
The Aral Sea, once one of the world's largest inland water bodies, has nearly disappeared due to unsustainable agricultural practices, symbolising the catastrophic consequences of exploiting natural resources without regard for regeneration.
From the rainforests of Southeast Asia to the grasslands of Africa and beyond, the story is the same: ecosystems sacrificed for short-term gain, leaving communities and wildlife to bear the cost.
This is a global crisis that demands immediate action. To combat these interconnected challenges, we must shift away from destructive practices toward a regenerative approach—restoring degraded lands, preserving existing ecosystems, and promoting sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet.
The time for global restoration and regeneration is now. Together, we can work to heal the planet and secure a sustainable future for generations to come.
We want to support local initiatives
In recent years Northern Ireland has faced varied social, economic, and environmental challenges:
Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, has been blighted by increasing water pollution and toxic algae blooms.
Invasive species such as Himalayan balsam and zebra mussels threaten our native biodiversity.
Ongoing trends of urban air pollution and high particulate emissions which have immediate and long lasting health effects.
Intensification of agricultural land use and subsequent soil degradation.
We all deserve better.
