ReForest Fund Update – December 2024

The ReForest Fund is bringing back vital wildlife habitat and collaborating with local communities to reverse landscape degradation and restore forests

Forests are one of our greatest allies in the fight against climate change and nature loss. Restoring forests is one of the most important things we can do for the future of our planet, its wildlife and people.  

Our initiatives are dedicated to the restoration and regeneration of natural forests. By adopting a landscape approach and employing a diverse array of methods, we collaborate with communities to enhance livelihoods and tackle the root causes of deforestation. This holistic strategy ensures that our efforts not only transform lives but also make a lasting impact on reducing atmospheric carbon and preserving vital biodiversity. 

With your support, over 526,000 trees across 19 projects have been restored, spanning continents from Latin America to Africa and Asia. 

Trillion Trees has projects worldwide in critically important landscapes that need support to enable the recovery of vital ecosystems and re-create habitats for endangered species. New projects are underway in the Atlantic Forest of Argentina, recovering lost ecosystem services through planting 90,000 native plants and restoring 180 hectares of degraded land; in the Madidi-Tambopata Landscape of Peru, reforesting degraded areas on and near family-owned coffee farms; and in buffer zones of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, home to endangered Mountain Gorillas.    

We are continuing to work in landscapes in Africa, including in Kaptagat, Kenya and the Usambara Mountains of Tanzania, involving local communities and schools to restore and maintain important forest landscapes. Our work in Laos continues where 20,000-24,000 trees are regenerating thanks to the hard work of local communities who are leading the efforts. In Mbeliling, Indonesia we are restoring forest through agroforestry techniques to maintain a vital watershed.  

Whether you donate to restore 1 tree or 10,000, your support ensures forests thrive into the future. Why not dedicate the gift of a tree to a loved one this holiday season?
