Conservation: Where native forest canopy cover is still (largely) intact, we focus on protecting the forest from potential threats and disturbances, such as overgrazing, unsustainable wood extraction and fire.

We protect sites that show natural regeneration potential and nurture wild seedlings, removing or reducing barriers to regeneration such as soil degradation, competition with weedy species, and disturbances from grazing animals.

Where degradation has strongly reduced the native forest canopy cover, we actively plant native trees to increase the density of existing tree species, or to re-introduce species that have gone missing in the ecosystem.

Where degradation has reduced the native forest canopy cover, we actively plant native trees. We plant selected tree species at high-density to recover degraded areas, join up forest fragments, shade out weeds and re-establish a multi-layered canopy.

Where degradation has reduced the native forest canopy cover, we actively reintroduce desirable tree species by sowing their seeds directly in the field. Where and when environmental conditions allow it, direct seeding can be a great cost-effective method for restoration.

We integrate multipurpose trees on farms to increase and naturally sustain agricultural production, as well as tree crops such as fruit and timber to provide productive, profitable, and healthy land use systems, increasing biodiversity and improving soil and water resources.
