Restoring Forests,
One Tree at a Time
In March 2025, Ultima Impact Foundation partnered with local environmental groups and volunteers to plant native tree saplings across degraded forest areas in Selangor, Malaysia.
This initiative was about more than replanting—it was about reconnecting. Together, we worked to restore land that had been stripped of its natural resilience, tree by tree, with care and community spirit. While modest in scale, this effort helped set the tone for our foundation’s broader environmental goals.
Forests in Southeast Asia are critical to regional water cycles, biodiversity, and climate regulation. Yet decades of logging, development, and climate stress have left many areas vulnerable.
By planting native trees in Selangor, this initiative helped kickstart regeneration in one of those zones. These trees may be small now, but they stand for long-term recovery and real climate action.
“We’re proud of the hands that planted each sapling. It may be a small step, but it’s an honest one — and we hope it encourages others to do the same.”
— Jean Philippe, Director, Ultima Impact Foundation

What We Learned
This wasn’t about impact measured in numbers—it was about showing up. We learned that community-led restoration takes time, trust, and a willingness to start small. And those first steps are the ones that matter most.
We’ll continue to engage with our local partners in Malaysia for future sustainability projects.
