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.

- 70,000 families strengthened economically
- 5M tonnes of CO₂ captured
