Project Overview
Approximately 20% of global forest cover is found in Asia, and the region is classified as one of the most biologically diverse in the world. However, Asia's tropical rainforests are suffering from the world's highest rates of deforestation, which is fueled by wildfires, palm oil production, and illegal mining operations. Planting trees in Asia will nourish and revitalize the soil, improve water sources, and enhance air quality.
Asia’s rainforests are some of the oldest in the world and are home to endemic species such as orangutans, the sloth bear, and the takin. Reforestation in Asian countries ensures the protection of hundreds and thousands of plant and animal species by restoring ecosystems and improving habitat stability.
Our Asia projects seek to reverse the negative effects of deforestation and conventional agriculture by introducing community-based agroforestry to encourage the positive behavior of local communities and maintain forests as a sustainable source of income. By planting trees in Asia, you are helping to restore vital habitat for endangered wildlife, restore tropical forests that sequester carbon, and offer sustainable livelihood alternatives to farmers through regenerative agroforestry practices.
