The project plans to support 1800 rural families in two neighboring localities to plant 300,000 trees for a period of 3 years in an innovative bocage model in a highly anthropized and deforested environment. Through the use of species adapted to pruning, the environment of the agrarian systems will be preserved and the households will benefit from a better autonomy in wood-energy, regular income from the pruning of the trees as well as from ecosystem services promoting a better resilience of their agricultural system.

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 about 33,000 hectares of forest per year. In this country where subsistence farming is the norm, forest cover is being lost to crops. In addition, logging to meet the population's energy needs and illegal timber trafficking, coupled with the effects of global warming, are threatening the forest and the resilience of local communities. Yet trees are a precious and indispensable resource for the population, whose density is increasing. In the rural district of Lilongwe, where the project is located, the forest has been severely degraded by human activities. The creation of agroforestry systems is therefore crucial for the livelihoods of local communities.

In Malawi, the agroforestry project financed by Reforest'Action and led on the field by the NGO Inter Aide aims at ensuring food subsistence and increasing the energy autonomy of local communities by integrating trees, sources of fruits and wood, around cultivated fields. With a strong community dimension, the project accompanies farmers at each step of the creation of these agroforestry systems, from the production of trees in nurseries to their planting and maintenance.

At an altitude of over 2,000 meters, the misty landscape of the Piura highlands is deceptive. This is indeed an arid ecosystem, made up of sparse dry forests threatened by desertification. The harsh climate is compounded by deforestation, a consequence of growing agricultural needs. According to the Servicio Nacional Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre, over 600,000 hectares of forest have been illegally cleared in the Piura region over the past twenty years. The province of Huancabamba, where the project financed by Reforest'Action is located, suffers the highest rate of deforestation. The near absence of vegetation exposes arable soils to water and wind erosion. Fires, which feed on the scanty brushwood, also represent a growing threat, while long periods without rainfall are dangerously drying up water resources.

Reforest’Action is associated with the Peruvian NGO Progreso, founded in 1993\. The NGO has more than 25 years of experience in the development of agroforestry systems, the improvement of food security for the populations of the Piura region and the fight against climate change. The Progreso team works hand in hand with local district governments and farming communities. Progreso will ensure the monitoring of the planted trees and raise awareness among villagers about sustainable agriculture and the importance of preserving forests.

Starting in 2019, this is the second natural ecosystem regeneration project financed by Reforest'Action in Peru. On the highlands of the Piura region and in partnership with Peruvian NGO PROGRESO, the actions carried out aim to regenerate the eroded soil and to fight against desertification. In this context, planting trees is an effective way of improving the soil, with many positive cascading effects: better water infiltration, control of water erosion, barrier against mudslides, recovery and maintenance of water resources, and improved soil fertility. At the surface, tree crowns act as windbreaks against wind erosion. Besides, the presence of vegetation in the landscape also generates a more humid microclimate, conducive to agriculture and livestock farming.

Since 2017, Reforest’Action is partnering with Yagasu, an Indonesian NGO, to work concretely on the restoration of this unique biodiversity hotspot, essential to the protection of the island’s coastlines. The objectives of the action correspond to the identified problems or real needs of the coastal community. Restoring mangroves as a nature-based solution strategy could make communities more resilient to environmental changes and improve their social-economic capacity. By working with local communities, this project aimed to restore severely degraded sites, control abrasion and reduce the tsunami's impact to improve the community’s agility in climate change mitigation. This project also increased the commitment of the local communities to protecting mangroves through group formation, policy initiative development, and environmental awareness education.

Indonesia is the world's most deforested country, with rainforest disappearing twice as fast as in the Amazon. In 1987, northern Sumatra boasted 200,000 hectares of mangroves. Today, less than half this remains, at just 83,000 hectares. This massive deforestation is mainly due to anthropic pressure: mangroves are converted into areas for intensive shrimp and fish farming or palm oil production, and illegally felled to make firewood or charcoal. The disappearance of mangroves, accelerated by global warming, makes coasts even more vulnerable to flooding and land erosion.

Since 2003, Yagasu, an Indonesian environmental NGO, has been restoring mangroves in collaboration with forest communities. Since its foundation, almost 6,000 hectares have been replanted. Yagasu's mangrove protection and restoration project has conserved 23 different mangrove species, 8 mammal species, 16 reptile and amphibian species, 32 invertebrate species (crabs, shrimps, etc.), 73 bird species, 41 fish species and 9 migratory bird species.

With the aim of restoring and extending the native mangrove on the island of Sumatra to protect its coastlines and secure the economic activities linked to it, Reforest'Action entered into a lasting partnership with local NGO Yagasu in 2017. The objectives of the campaign respond to identified problems or real needs of the coastal community. The project aims to restore severely degraded sites by working hand-in-hand with local populations, controlling abrasion and reducing the impact of the tsunami.

Haiti is one of the most deforested countries in the world. In 1920, 60% of the country was covered by forest, compared with 2% today. The massive loss of forest cover is mainly due to charcoal production, the main source of energy for the population. The dramatic passage of Hurricane Matthew in October 2016 also destroyed a huge proportion of the trees still standing. Located in the Jacmel Valley, the Lavial community has a population of around 36,000\. Living conditions over there are precarious: a large proportion of the population lives below the poverty line. The local association OJUCAH is therefore deploying actions to support agriculture, livestock breeding, health and education.

The Organisation des Jeunes Universitaires de Carrefour pour l'Avancement d'Haïti (OJUCAH - Carrefour's Young Academics' Organization for the Advancement of Haiti) is an apolitical, non-profit, non-denominational association bringing together children, young and old, regardless of gender, ethnic group, creed or social affiliation. The organization was created in 1998 in the Haitian town of Carrefour, and is now active around the municipality of Lavial, with some 1,200 active members spread across various rural sections. the NGO is recognized as a charitable organization and registered with the Ministry of Social Affairs.

In Haiti's South-East department, in the Jacmel Valley, Reforest'Action and the Organisation des Jeunes Universitaires de Carrefour pour l'Avancement d'Haïti (OJUCAH) are collaborating with the "Trees That Feed" program to finance several fruit and forest species. The project enables both the reforestation of degraded areas around the associated villages and the development of agroforestry. The forest ecosystems thus recreated will offer a multitude of invaluable services for the climate, biodiversity and local populations, while agroforestry systems will enable families to generate additional income.

In rural areas of Morocco, the challenges of economic development go hand in hand with the implementation of collective, sustainable agricultural solutions. Permaculture and agroforestry are virtuous practices that provide a real boost to self-sufficiency, food security and the incomes of local communities. They create a nourishing forest and combat desertification.

In rural areas of Morocco, Reforest'Action is developing agroforestry projects in villages throughout the country, thanks to its local partner Ibn Al Baytar. The aim is to support economic development and the implementation of collective, sustainable agricultural solutions. In addition to developing agroforestry and organic production among farmers, the project also has an educational aim, with the emphasis on raising awareness of the benefits of trees among local populations.

The project is located on the edge of Masoala National Park, a Unesco World Heritage site with a rich diversity of endemic flora and fauna. However, World Bank reports indicate that the country's forest cover has been falling since the 1990s, resulting in the fragmentation of the island's natural spaces. These alarming statistics make Madagascar one of the world's 36 biodiversity hotspots, endangering the country's 14,000 endemic species of plants, primates, birds, reptiles and amphibians.

In the Masoala peninsula, the NGO Génération Masoala Madagascar has been working since 2008 on the region's economic and social development. Their actions are numerous: building schools and dispensaries, providing access to water and solar energy, repairing bridges and, last but not least, reforesting degraded land and promoting agroforestry. 

Reforest'Action works in collaboration with the Génération Masoala Madagascar association and the Fokontany municipality of Ambatobe to create a community tree nursery on the Masoala peninsula. Part of the trees grown in the nursery will then be distributed to the communities to be planted in agroforestry, while the other part will help reforest some of degraded areas. The aim of the project is to provide the local population with trees that will produce resources for the people, to be be consumed or sold, such as cocoa, coffee or clove.
