Yves wants to transform an old apple orchard, currently abandoned, into a forest. Let’s plant with him chestnut trees, douglas firs, and some cork oaks to boost biodiversity, honey and forestry production.
The primary forest in this region is suffering from selective deforestation and losing its biodiversity. Let’s plant valuable local species trees in plots owned by smallholders, this will provide them with wood within easy reach and so protect the tropical forest.
Plantations of fertile trees and cocoa trees of an old variety very resistant and prized for its organoleptic qualities. These trees will provide a decent income for families, while regenerating soils and thus protecting the surrounding forest from the old practice of slash and burn.
The village of Pejarakan relies heavily on its marine ecosystem and natural coastal resources to meet its everyday needs.
The plan is to plant mangroves and introduce clean-up sites for the beaches. These actions will enable the ecosystem to rebuild itself and help the local population regain an acceptable standard of living.
In this small village of 600 inhabitants, the soil is extremely degraded and so largely infertile for subsistence crops (taros, yams…). The villagers also lack fuelwood and lumber. Together let’s plant trees to provide the villagers with food and wood, and to protect the gallery forest of the river Zio.
At The Real Food Fight farm everything is organic farm certified (Agriculture Biologique, AB), horses have replaced tractors, and the bread is baked on site using traditional cereals. Let’s help Andy continue transforming his farm into an agroforestry farm.
Covering a few acres, this forest in the Tarn region is on the decline. Let’s plant here to breathe new life into this valley bottom. With lindens and Robinias to provide more flowers for the beehives and black alders in the wetland parts.
