This month, your trees are planted in 25 projects and 13 countries. Here is a brief update on some of them. 

• In Nicaragua, together with our partner Nicaverde your searches are helping to reforest one of the world’s largest volcanic mountain ranges, as well as tropical lowlands around León. We use a landscape approach to stop soil erosion, restore water sources, and empower farmers by developing a more sustainable subsistence model.

• In India, we are working with Symagine to support women entrepreneurship via community based nurseries and household tree planting in West Bengal. This past month, they’ve been busy preparing new saplings in the nurseries.

• In Ethiopia, our partner Green Ethiopia is working with women’s groups to plant trees that help them make an additional income and are helping to improve soil moisture and increase water tables in the surrounding areas. This past month, the trees have made their way from the nurseries into the ground.

• In Uganda, together with Kijani Forestry we’re working with local communities to plant hundreds of thousands of biodiverse, native and fast-growing trees, some of which enrich the soil with nitrogen. After five years the trees can be harvested and regrown from the existing root structure. The goal of this project is to reverse deforestation via sustainable charcoal production, as the majority of Ugandans rely on charcoal or firewood harvested from national forests or on the private lands of impoverished farmers. This past month, the field staff has been busy identifying new farmers and planting locations for future tree planting.
