Greenzone Reforestation Project: big steps in Cameroon

We’re excited to update you on the Regenerative Agroforestry Project Cameroon (previously Greenzone Reforestation Project) in Cameroon! Our efforts to restore the Congo Basin are progressing well, and we have some notable achievements to share.

Recent achievements

Our team has successfully planted 194 hectares of trees using seedlings from our nursery, the second-largest in the country. We’re focusing on over 20 different tree species, including native varieties, fruit-bearing trees like wild mango and African plum, and shade trees. This diverse approach benefits both the environment and local communities.

Our goal is to plant almost 3 million trees over the next seven years. By partnering with local communities, we aim to restore degraded land and sequester carbon. This initiative also helps maintain vital habitats in the Congo Basin region of Cameroon, including those where the majestic African lion still roams, contributing to the overall health of the ecosystem.

The project is also generating job opportunities, enhancing water quality, and offering training in sustainable practices. By establishing community-driven nurseries and supporting local facilities, we are positively impacting the everyday lives of local communities in the region.

Plant trees to make an impact!

Projects like the Regenerative Agroforestry Project Cameroon initiative are vital for our mission to restore ecosystems and support local families. By planting millions of trees, we enhance biodiversity, protect wildlife habitats, and create sustainable livelihoods for people. 

These projects are a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering a healthier environment and thriving communities. As we move forward, we will continue to provide updates on our progress and the growing impact of our efforts, reflecting our dedication to long-term positive change.

Help us support local communities and wildlife like African lions by planting trees. Every tree you plant makes a difference in reforestation efforts, wildlife protection, and community development. Together, we can build a greener future.
