trees for the future
Since 1989, Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant
trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training,
and country programs, TFTF has empowered rural groups to restore tree
cover to their lands. Trees for the Future has helped thousands of
communities in Central America, Africa, and Asia improve their
livelihoods and their environment by planting nearly 65 million trees.
We calculate that these trees remove over one and a half million tons
of CO2 from the atmosphere each year. Most communities around the world
recognize that they need to plant trees on their degraded lands if they
are to improve their lives. TFTF provide technical knowledge on
agroforestry and sustainable development, along with planting materials
so that communities can return their degraded lands and struggling
farms back to sustainable production. Planeterra supports TFTF’s work
in Brazil through our Community Reforestry Program.
