Our Organization Announces Major Expansion of its Global Reforestation Initiative with New Partnerships in Kenya, Madagascar, and Nigeria

With new collaborations with regional groups and governments in Kenya, Madagascar, and Nigeria, we are pleased to announce the growth of its “Plant for Tomorrow” forestry project. By the end of 2025, an extra one million trees will have been planted as part of this expansion, with an emphasis on areas severely affected by desertification and deforestation.
Working alongside community-based organizations and government forestry departments, this effort will target biodiversity hotspots and degraded landscapes critical for wildlife conservation and climate resilience. These regions have been selected based on their urgent need for ecological restoration, as well as their potential to provide sustainable livelihoods through agroforestry and ecotourism.

Key elements of the partnership include:

• Community engagement: Training will be provided to local people on nursery management, sustainable forestry methods, and the financial advantages of agroforestry, including the sale of non-timber forest products such fruits and medicinal plants.
• Biodiversity focus: Planting native species that support local wildlife, such as endangered species like Madagascar’s lemurs and Kenya’s elephants, will be the initiative’s first priority.
• Long-term sustainability: In order to lessen the impact on deforestation, the project will also incorporate initiatives to promote alternate energy sources like solar power and curtail illicit logging.

“This expansion represents a critical next step in our mission to restore ecosystems and combat climate change on a global scale,” said Dr. Sarah Whitman, Executive Director. “By working directly with communities, we’re not only restoring the environment but also building resilience in areas that are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.”
