Madagascar

This restoration area is located on a lowland mangrove forest along the Akalamboro Estuary surrounding the Akalamboro community in northwest Madagascar. The northern edge of this estuary is part of the Baie de Baly National Park.

The mangrove forest is unique in that it is a deep-water canal that meets up with an extensive, freshwater river system. This makes it a vital nursery for numerous fish species, abundant Nile crocodile, and multiple bird species, including the endangered Madagascar ibis.

Haiti

This agroforestry nursery is located in the Belanger community in northern Haiti. Located where the Noir and Massif du Nord Mountain ranges meet the Artibonite Plains of Gona ves, this region has a dry, neotropical climate with sparse tree cover and rugged topography.

Deforestation has caused land degradation and has had cascading effects on the environment, agricultural productivity, and local livelihoods. Declining soil fertility and topsoil erosion lower farm productivity and can lead to complete farm failure.

Nepal

The Lape planting site comprises 280 hectares of degraded tropical and subtropical forest in the Nawalpur District. This landscape is diverse, ranging from the lowl and Terai plains to peaks over 1,500 meters in the Churia Hills.

The Churia Hills are a transition zone from the lowland plains to the Himalayas. The nearby villages are home to approximately 400 people, most of whom belong to the indigenous Magar, Gurung, and Chhetri ethnic groups and whose traditional livelihood is livestock farming.

Honduras

Honduras is a biodiverse nation home to hundreds of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species of animals and plants, some found nowhere else on Earth. Unfortunately, growth of palm oil production has led to uncontrolled logging, often in protected areas.

Work in this region is done in partnership with La Tigra National Park to produce, plant, and protect forests destroyed by uncontrolled logging. Reforesting this degraded region with native tree species creates sustainable economic opportunities for the indigenous people living there.

Kenya

This site is located within the greater Milihoi channel in Lamu county. It is near Lamu Town, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site with an incredibly rich history. It has mangrove estuaries which are vital to the area’s ecologically diverse bird and marine life.

This area faces a number of challenges, including insufficient social services, very little freshwater, underdeveloped infrastructure, and food shortages. Reforestation work in this region restores mangrove estuaries and helps the local economy reduce food and water insecurity.

Indonesia

An area of degraded mangrove forest measuring 506 hectares along the coast of Biak Island in northeastern Indonesia. The interior of the island is covered by lush tropical rainforest, while mangrove forests line the coasts.

The forests provide habitat for endemic mammal and bird species and have significant benefits for local communities and livelihoods. They rely on healthy mangroves to support fisheries, provide timber, and protect against the impact of tropical storms erosion.

Mozambique

Over 70% of Mozambique's population rely on its forests to survive. Unfortunately, this has allowed illegal logging to thrive until only a few years ago when the government took action to stop it.

Restoring these decimated Mangrove and coastal forests is absolutely vital to the future of the country. It will create new habitats for endangered animal species, subdue erosion, improve the soil and water quality to increase farming yields to create economic benefits the county needs.
