Dans le département des Alpes de Hautes-Provence, le peuplement concerné par le projet est une futaie régulière à dominante de Pin noir. Après la construction d’une route forestière, plus de 40 ha de cette forêt ont été désenclavés. Le projet de régénération naturelle assistée vise à engager un travail multifonctionnel dans les zones accessibles et à restaurer les peuplements affaiblis grâce à la diversification et au mélange. La démarche s’appuie également sur des travaux sylvicoles qui permettent d’accompagner la régénération. L’objectif est de mettre en valeur chaque tige d'intérêt, qu’il s’agisse d’un objectif de biodiversité, de production de bois durable, ou bien de diversité spécifique. Grâce au projet, 93 300 arbres seront valorisés et participeront à la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique grâce au carbone stocké.

The project developed by our partner is part of the Laguna de Términos protected area, in the Mexican state of Campeche. The lagoon has been recognized as an area of high importance since 1994 by the Mexican government because of the richness of the biological ecosystems found in its estuaries. They are home to more than 130 species of mammals including the jaguar, today classified as “near threatened”. Between land and sea, the Tintal defines the ecosystem in which the Palo de Tinto, or logwood, grows within the lagoon. Emblematic of the Yucatán Peninsula, the Tintal has been severely degraded by human activities after the independence of Mexico: currently, nearly 80% of the Campeche state's land has been converted into grazing areas for cattle ranching or into crops for palm oil export. The project aims to restore this unique ecosystem.

Planalto is a rural production company located in the state of Campeche, one of the administrative divisions that make up the Yucatán Peninsula. As a productive and responsible business model, it works to implement forestry and permaculture practices in rural areas, emphasizing the use of native species and natural treatment products. Doing so, it helps promote a multifunctional reforestation model that benefits both the environment and the local communities, mainly composed of producers. During the project, Planalto will supervise the implementation of the selected seedlings in nurseries, the preparation of the soil, the planting sessions as well as the maintenance and monitoring of the planted trees.

Reforest'Action is partnering with the company Planalto to restore "El Tintal" ecosystem and to establish a conservation area for biodiversity. This multi-faceted project is located near the town of Palizada, southwest of the Mexican state of Campeche and concerns two areas located side by side. 

On the one hand, the project implementer Juan-Carlos is working to regenerate the Tintal by planting Palo de Tinto on the degraded pastures of his ranch. Palo de Tinto, also known as "logwood", is a small thorny tree from Mexico whose dark red fibers produce a black ink used for dyeing clothes and hair. Through the transformation of wood chip residues, the project aims to create its own circular bioeconomy system. 

On the other hand, Juan-Carlos has established a conservation area in the untouched jungle, with a dedicated area of 350 hectares that will serve as a refuge for native animal species such as the jaguar.

On site, Reforest'Action and the Senegalese association Nebeday are initiating a vast project of reforestation, mangrove planting and environmental education for schoolchildren. This approach will contribute to the restoration of forest ecosystems and the preservation of natural resources that are essential to the economic and social development of populations. 

This project combines several tree species: palm trees planted in the Sangako forest, mangrove trees to restore maritime ecosystems as well as a variety of fruit and leguminous species that will be planted in school yards. It will contribute to the restoration of the forest cover, slowing down the degradation of ecosystems and supporting an environmental education program.

ZERO_HUNGER

QUALITY_EDUCATION

In Senegal, the forests are suffering the consequences of the country's demographic growth and economic development. Charcoal production, illegal wood trafficking and livestock farming are at the origin of the disappearance of the forest cover, accentuated by the multiplication of bush fires. In 60 years, Senegal has lost half of its forest area. The mangrove, an ecosystem essential to many marine and terrestrial species, is also threatened.

Reforest'Action and the Senegalese association Nebeday are working together on a vast reforestation and mangrove restoration project. In the background, a large-scale environmental education project is being set up to raise awareness of environmental issues among schoolchildren. The approach will give birth to a generation of eco-citizens committed to the forest and the environment.

Reforest’action is collaborating with Yakopi (Yayasan Konservasi Pesisir Indonesia) to restore mangrove forests in areas with previous degradation and deforestation, by involving community participation in Aceh and North Sumatra provinces, Indonesia. This project is designed to restore damaged mangrove ecosystems where the mangrove restoration program is beneficial for carbon stocks, improves water quality, wildlife habitat, and extraordinary climate resilience, and contributes to sustainable local economic and social development. This project will also support the economies of coastal communities that depend on fishing. Indeed, mangrove forests have an ecological function as a habitat for marine life.

GENDER_EQUALITY

Indonesia is the country most affected by deforestation in the world, with its forest disappearing twice as fast as in the Amazon. Mangroves, in particular, are the forest ecosystem that is disappearing at the most alarming rate. While North Sumatra province had 200,000 hectares of mangroves in 1987, less than half of this remains today with only 83,000 hectares. In Aceh province, the mangroves were also severely degraded by the 2004 tsunami. Land use change and forest degradation are the main causes of mangrove loss in Sumatra, which tends to be replaced by oil palm monocultures or intensive aquaculture ponds, when it is not illegally cut for charcoal production.

The NGO Yayasan Konservasi Pesisir Indonesia (Yakopi) was founded in 2019 to accompany local people and young foresters in the creation and conservation of mangrove ecosystems. The NGO is composed of members of recognized institutions, professors and experienced executives, who assist the beneficiaries in developing a green economy. Reforest'Action has been funding the Yakopi project since 2021 and is contributing to its development across North Sumatra.

Reforest'Action is partnering with the NGO Yakopi to restore the mangroves of North Sumatra and enable them to once again realise their wide range of environmental and socio-economic benefits. The project's mangrove restoration activities are closely linked to the socio-economic activities of the people and enable them to achieve sustainability in terms of resource renewal and livelihoods. Through the mobilisation of the populations, the project aims to ensure the sustainability of the restored mangrove ecosystems.

Reforest'Action is partnering with CIGDES to support small landowners in implementing agroforestry systems in response to severe land degradation in the provinces of Lamas, San Martin and El Dorado in Peru.

REDUCED_INEQUALITIES

Plot farming in Peru represents the first cause of deforestation, being practiced both by small family farmers and by national and international agribusinesses. Northwest of the country, in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, most of the land of the Lamas, San Martín and El Dorado provinces have been converted into crops and pastures, at the cost of the primary forest that used to take root in the area. Local farmers have been abandoning their plots of land whose overexploited soil had lost fertility. The abandoned farmlands are now largely covered by an invasive fern species. These degraded areas are also particularly prone to fires, which are very common in the Amazon during the summer. Like a vicious circle, these phenomena worsen the degradation of the already weakened soils and decrease water resources.

The Center for Innovation and Sustainable Management (CIGDES) is a Peruvian NGO founded in 2020\. On the spot, the organization favors the development of agroforestry projects based on the introduction of non-timber and fruit indigenous tree species. Since its creation, the CIGDES has managed to plant over 10 million trees. The NGO works hand in hand with several national and international actors involved in the restoration of forests and the implementation of agroforestry systems such as the US AID.

Reforest'Action is partnering with the CIGDES to support small landowners in implementing agroforestry systems. The project, led by the Centro De Innovación Y Gestión Para El Desarrollo Sostenible (CIGDES) in the field, is being carried out simultaneously in three Peruvian provinces: Lamas, San Martín and El Dorado. Started in 2021, it will last for three years. The work involves installing agroforestry systems on abandoned agricultural plots, alongside producers and indigenous communities. The development of agroforestry will result in the restoration of former forests, including soil conditions, while generating additional socio-economic benefits. The Kichwas are an ancestral ethnic group of the Andes found in Peru. Direct descendants of the Inca civilization, their society is essentially based on agriculture and livestock. That's why the trees planted in agroforestry within the framework of the project will participate in the economic development of these Amazon people.
