Reforest’Action is partnering with the NGO Inter Aide to plant 300,000 trees over three years to form hedgerows in several villages of the Lilongwe district, center of the country. In this rural area where human activities have severely degraded the forest, agroecosystems must be restored to ensure the subsistence of local communities. 

This approach will increase the energy autonomy and the standard of living of the inhabitants of the reforested areas. The trees planted will have environmental benefits: they will prevent soil erosion, restore their fertility and their ecosystem functions.

PARTNERSHIP_FOR_THE_GOALS

Preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, empowerment, and supporting culture and spirituality.

Influences the quality and integrity of the soil-water system, and the cycling of water and nutrients.

Contributes to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect and influences precipitation patterns and the local microclimate.

In Malawi, deforestation is responsible for the loss of approximately 33,000 hectares of forest every year. In this country where subsistence farming is the norm, the forest cover is disappearing to make way for crops. In addition, logging practices in order to meet the population’s energy needs, illegal wood trafficking, coupled with the effects of global warming, are endangering the forest as well as people’s resilience. Yet, trees are a precious and necessary resource for the population, whose density continues to grow.

Founded in 1980, Inter Aide's main objective is to design, launch and monitor concrete development aid programmes in six African countries and in Haiti. Since 1997, the organisation has been training rural communities in Malawi to create tree nurseries and plant trees.

In this context, Reforest’Action is partnering with the Balipara Foundation, an Indian NGO, with the dual objective of restoring the forests of the State of Assam, in the Eastern Himalayas, and developing agroforestry in order to provide local communities with more sustainable agricultural solutions for their cotton and tea crops. 

By planting over 1 million trees, this project will help fight global warming thanks to the carbon stored in their wood, enrich the soil, recharge the aquifers and protect the crops from too much sun, preserve and develop local biodiversity as well as allow local communities to harvest the fruits to increase their food security. Surplus crops can be sold in local markets to provide additional income. Local people are also trained in the benefits of agroforestry and the long-term maintenance of the planted trees. Through forest restoration linked incomes, communities are better able to access universal basic assets such as healthcare and education.

The Indian state of Assam, located in the eastern tip of India, has lost more than 9.5% of its vegetation cover since 2000, due to the increasing conversion of natural primary forests into agricultural plots, and the invasion of exotic species that thrive at the expense of native vegetation. The result is a decline in the health of natural ecosystems, with soil degradation, increasing land desertification, and the depletion of water tables. Faced with a degraded environment, local populations are confronted with decreasing agricultural yields, which goes hand in hand with the collapse of their food security. In the state of Assam, only 8% of young people between the ages of 6 and 23 benefit from a healthy and balanced diet.

Founded in 2007, Balipara Foundation is an Indian NGO first dedicated to the conservation of Asian elephants across India. After several years in the field, their expertise enabled them to establish the link between saving elephants and preserving their natural environment: the forests. This led to the creation of the Rural Futures model, which aims to restore forests while generating income for local communities. Since the creation of Balipara, over 2,000 hectares of forest have been restored. Alongside these reforestation programs, Balipara has been developing agroforestry projects with local communities for the past 5 years, combining trees and cash crops to generate additional income.

Reforest'Action has joined forces with the NGO Balipara Foundation to restore the forests within the state of Assam, on the eastern edge of India, between Bhutan, China and Bangladesh. The aim of this project is twofold: to restore the degraded forests of this eastern Himalayan region, and to develop agroforestry within tea and cotton crops in order to provide local communities with more sustainable agricultural solutions. The "Living Lab India" Project is being developed under the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance established by His Majesty King Charles III as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative. The CBA aims to catalyze investment to create resilient landscapes and sustainable markets powered by nature.

Douglas

Hêtre commun

Dans le département du Tarn, les deux parcelles forestières concernées par ce reboisement se trouvent sur les Monts de Lacaune, au sein du parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc. Cette monoculture, composée d’épicéas, a été sévèrement affectée par une invasion de scolytes, insectes xylophages qui causent de nombreux dégâts dans les forêts françaises. À Brassac, leur présence a mené à la récolte des arbres pour des raisons sanitaires. En diversifiant les essences replantées à l’aide de douglas et de hêtre commun, la forêt sera à l’avenir plus résistante face aux attaques d’insectes. Ce mélange de résineux et de feuillus permettra au peuplement d’accueillir une biodiversité riche, redonnant au massif sa fonction environnementale. En outre, la plantation des arbres permettra de lutter contre le réchauffement climatique grâce au stockage de carbone. Une fois matures, ceux-ci serviront à la production de bois d’œuvre, une ressource durable et économiquement viable.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, and supporting recreation and heritage.

In the Tarn department, the two forest plots involved in this reforestation project are located in the Monts de Lacaune, within the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park. This monoculture of spruce trees has been severely affected by an invasion of bark beetles, xylophagous insects which cause a great deal of damage in French forests. In Brassac, their presence led to the trees being harvested for sanitary reasons. By diversifying the species planted with Douglas fir and common beech, the forest will be more resistant to insect attack in the future. This mix of coniferous and deciduous trees will enable the stand to host a rich biodiversity, restoring the forest's environmental function. In addition, the planting of trees will help combat global warming by storing carbon. Once mature, they will be used for timber production, a sustainable and economically viable resource.

Spekboom

Reforest’Action is joining forces with C4 EcoSolutions and AfriCarbon, two South African companies into the protected reserves of Kuzuko and Koedoeskloof. The goal is to restore these ecosystems by planting more than 500,000 seeds of Spekboom, a local species which is essential to the ecological functioning of the region. The project will develop a new sustainable grazing management system to improve the carrying capacity of livestock without degrading the environment. Numerous benefits will also be generated: the return of biodiversity, including a population of elephants, rainwater infiltration improvement, restoration of arable land and improve the living conditions of the local populations.

Within the Eastern Cape, in South Africa, land desertification is due to the increasing pressure of livestock on pastureland. Nowadays, the increasing scarcity of vegetation cover and the degradation of local farmers’ land and surrounding reserves are causing many negative environmental effects, such as the drying up of water resources, loss of biodiversity and soil erosion. The plantation areas are made up of former degraded pastures, and are located close to areas that have been protected for several decades.

The project is led in the field by Anthony Mills, a geochemist and expert in environmental development projects. He is the founder of two companies, AfriCarbon in 2009 and C4 EcoSolutions in 2015, which ensure the technical and operational deployment of the project.

Au Nord de la ville d'Angers, sur une zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique, les parcelles à boiser sont d'anciennes terres agricoles laissées à l'abandon. Les arbres à planter serviront de brise-vent dans cette zone de bocage, et permettront de valoriser des terres à faible potentiel agronomique. Pas moins de sept essences de feuillus et résineux adaptées à la station seront implantées afin de favoriser l'accueil de la biodiversité, et d'enrichir le paysage bocager. La croissance de cette nouvelle forêt durablement gérée permettra de capter du dioxyde de carbone atmosphérique, luttant ainsi contre le réchauffement climatique. La diversité des essences permettra un meilleur accueil de la biodiversité tout en fournissant des matériaux et une source d'énergie durable.  Enfin, la plantation va permettre d’augmenter le couvert arboré de la zone et assurer une continuité forestière résiliente.

To the north of the town of Angers, in a Natural Zone of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest, the plots to be planted are former farmlands that have been abandoned. The trees to be planted will act as windbreaks in this area of bocage, and help to make the most of land with little agronomic potential. No fewer than seven species of deciduous and coniferous trees adapted to the site will be planted to encourage biodiversity and enrich the bocage landscape. The growth of this new sustainably-managed forest will help capture atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby combating global warming. The diversity of tree species will provide a better habitat for biodiversity, while supplying materials and a sustainable source of energy. Finally, the planting will increase the area's tree cover and ensure resilient forest continuity.

Reforest'Action is partnering with Urku Estudios Amazónicos to restaure degraded areas with natural regeneration and deploy agroforestry systems in San Martin region in Peru. Fruit trees will allow local communities to produce fruit for their own use or for local trade. Fast-growing species will allow the production of wood and rubber without having to draw directly on the Amazonian forest. Agroforestry thus contributes to the diversification of farmers' income.
