Context

Forests are vital ecosystems that support a rich diversity of life. They play a crucial role in providing clean air and water, which are essential for human well-being. Biodiversity is fundamental to the ecosystem services and socio-economic benefits that forests offer. Deforestation and forest degradation threaten species with extinction and disrupt the ecosystems that sustain human populations.

Goals

Restore threatened and degraded forests landscapes with the aim of amplifying the impact of trees for people, nature, and climate.

Activities

Activities may include:

  • Protecting remaining forests through the strengthening of local governance and community engagement;
  • Reducing deforestation by introducing agroforestry practices to local communities;
  • Measuring the forests’ growth as well as their environmental and socio-economic impact through mapping and research.

Myriad Canada is working with WeForest on this project, a nonprofit whose mission is to contribute to action on climate, the environment and humanity, through the conservation and restoration of forests and forest landscapes on a global scale. Since 2009, WeForest’s four global programmes – encompassing nearly 20 tailored nature-based projects across Latin America, Africa, and Asia have resulted in:

  • Over 50,000 hectares of forest landscape restored and conserved
  • 80 million trees growing
  • The habitat of 68 threatened (IUCN Red List) species protected
  • 70,000 families strengthened economically
  • 5M tonnes of CO₂ captured
  • $500 per household increase in average annual income in partner communities
