The earth is warming up, and the best available proof points to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases as the leading cause.
Deforestation and climate change are intimately connected: Globally, deforestation release nearly 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, and is responsible for nearly 25 percent of man-made CO2 emissions. The destruction of the world's forests not only troubles the communities that depend on them, but increasingly affects us all.
While the root causes of deforestation vary from region to region, there are some widespread solutions. Communities need seeds, training, and technical support in order to adapt long-standing cultural and agricultural traditions (such as gathering fuel wood in nearby forests and practicing slash-and-burn agriculture) to new realities. Starting nurseries and planting trees is part of this process.
It is not too late. We are solution-oriented people. We have developed programs that work, which are restoring trees and forests to degraded lands. We are working with individuals, communities, and other organizations around the world with a shared vision for a positive change. We are a hands-on people-to-people program at the grassroots level, and we are leading by example. Read more about sustainable agro forestry program, and how they work.
Join Us! There are many ways to get involved. Donations are gratefully accepted in any amount! We offer a free distance agro forestry training program. You can browse issues of our quarterly newsletter, or sign up for our monthly e-newsletter.
