Do you think we should slow down crippling deforestation in Western Africa that is contributing to the climate emergency?!
We do too, so have started to do something about it, and you can help!
For years we have been working to improve the lives of locals within the Ivory Coast farming communities and have recently built multiple tree nurseries to reforest the region that has seen a 19% decrease in forest cover since 2000. Every tree is grown from seed by locals providing both employment and training in areas where opportunities are limited and we are looking for people to help keep the effort going
Instead of buying someone a birthday card this year, from only US$ 3 consider sponsoring a tree to be planted instead.
For US$ 10 we will plant a Traceable Tree on your behalf and send you the precise coordinates of the tree ( via What3Words) so you can check in online and over time watch the tree canopy coming back.
For US$ 20 we will even have the local planter take a photo showing the precise location of the tree you sponsor and we will send you a photo that you can add to your electronic greetings cards and messages. Save some paper AND get a tree in the ground!
Help us support vulnerable West African communities and take a step to turn the tide of tragic deforestation by doing something meaningful this Christmas.
Our Trees
All our trees are grown from seeds in our nurseries by local groups. To ensure biodiversity we currently have 17 different species that are indigenous to the area that when grown to seedling can be moved out of the nursery and planted back in the former forest but also some species are used as shade trees in cocoa plantations.
Our tree varietals include: Akpi, Cedrella, Acajou, Koto, Ilomba, Ako, Fraké, Bété, Koutoube, Invengia, Niangon, Tchamen, Framire, Tiama, Anigre, Sipo & Samba
