WeForest

About us

We work in threatened and degraded tropical forests and landscapes to create locally-led reforestation projects.
Collaboration is key. We build local partnerships to deliver long-term transformational change.
We design restoration strategies in partnership with local communities and stakeholders:
protecting remaining intact forests through strengthening local governance and working to reduce pressure in the buffer zones;
restoring degraded forest through planting and encouraging natural regeneration of native species;
planting agroforestry systems that increase tree cover in farming landscapes and provide food and timber for local families.
We build forest-friendly alternative income programmes such as beekeeping and sustainable agriculture. This reduces pressure on the forests while improving food security and nutrition.
Women-led micro-businesses, such as tree nurseries or community-managed beekeeping and honey production, flourish with the right support. We provide the training, guidance and equipment to catalyse their success.
