Join us to witness the incredible transformation as we breathe new life into once barren lands. Together, we can make a lasting impact and leave a legacy of environmental stewardship for future generations.

Project impact

The Regenerative Agroforestry Project Cameroon is a large-scale nature-based initiative tackling deforestation in the Congo Basin, a region under mounting pressure from commercial logging, firewood collection, and population growth. By planting millions of native and cacao trees, the project restores biodiversity, strengthens water security, improves quality of life for local communities, creates jobs, revives wildlife habitat, improves soil health, sequesters carbon at scale, and builds long-term ecosystem resilience. It is the country's largest registered carbon project and home to its second-largest tree nursery.

Community benefits

The project is designed to have a positive impact on local communities and the environment. The project offers job opportunities, community training, and new infrastructure, such as improved access to medical care, contributing to improving the local community's quality of life and sustainable development. All crop yields from trees planted are also for the benefit of the local community.

Environmental benefits

The project has an extraordinary impact on the environment. It promotes and conserves regional biodiversity, restores degraded lands, creates vital habitats for local wildlife, and plays a critical role in carbon sequestration. With each tree, the project contributes to creating a healthy, thriving ecosystem, making a positive environmental impact.

About the region

The project is developed in Cameroon's Central Region, on the edges of the Congo Basin. It is a French-speaking region occupying 69,000 square kilometres and is one of Cameroon's most densely populated provinces, although much of this population is centred around the capital, Yaoundé. The region’s high levels of precipitation, steady climate, and fertile tropical soils make it ideal for planting trees and potentially reversing deforestation trends.

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement

In the context of international carbon markets and the Paris Agreement, Cameroon currently does not have finalised national legislation corresponding with the internationally established Article 6 framework. Cameroon is formulating its approach and structure for Article 6 and its broader implications, with us, as stakeholders, actively engaging with the government to guide policy development.
