Its consequences directly affect people. The surroundings dry out, there is <strong>less fertile ground<\/strong> to grow food in and water shortage increases. We are going to change this by planting trees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with the Samay Foundation and the local population we are going to <strong>reforest<\/strong> the exhausted soil in order to get hydrology going again. Besides, we assist local families to make the switch to <strong>agroforestry<\/strong> (forest farming). This sustainable alternative to traditional farming and animal husbandry makes for fertile soil, more food guarantee an extra income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">This successful approach has made it possible for us in the past few years to plant as many as 219,000 trees and lay out dozens of agroforestry lots. In 2025 we would like to plant another <strong>62,500 <\/strong>trees, together with Samay and the local population. Your gift will help us realise this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column

meters, far away from big cities. Even though their social services have improved over the years, they are still very poor. They live from small-scale farming, but this is getting more difficult because of <strong>increasing drought and water shortage. <\/strong>Apart from climate change, there are two significant causes:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Many original trees and shrubs have disappeared<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many indigenous trees and shrubs that used to grow high up in the mountains, have disappeared because of cattle farming and agriculture.&nbsp; The problem is that, normally, trees absorb water and from the mountains it flows down underground. There it ends up in natural sources or water basins (reservoirs), from which people come to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without trees and shrubs the soil is less and less able to retain water. On the one hand, this causes water shortage in times of drought. And heavy rainfall, on the other, causes the water to gush down along the slopes rather uselessly. This in turn causes erosion, in which chunks of soil wash away or the grounds burst open.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/22-Zwaar-geerodeerde-helling-in-de-gemeenschap-Ventilla-Noord-Potosi-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Geerodeerd-land-Bolivia\" title=\"22 Zwaar ge\u00ebrodeerde helling in de gemeenschap Ventilla, Noord-Potos\u00ed\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-21-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Bolivia - Trees for All (21)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-26-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Bolivia - Trees for All (26)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Traditional farming exhausts the soil further<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Andes farmers grow mainly potatoes, quinoa, corn and onions as monocultures: the same plot of land bears the same crop year in, year out. Additionally, large quantities of chemicals are used to counter pests and diseases, which exhausts the soil, rendering it drier and less fertile. Growing and harvesting food and making a living from it becomes increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, in order to improve people\u2019s living conditions it is crucial to (re)plant trees!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This is what we are going to do in Bolivia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with the Samay Foundation and the local population we will plant the trees from a landscape approach, using two methods:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

They keep the soil together, as it were and \u2018store\u2019 the water falling in a sizable shower, so it will not gush down all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, the communities will plant <strong>&nbsp;indigenous species of trees <\/strong>which survive well at altitudes of thousands of meters, such as kewi\u00f1a and kiswara. In addition they will build dozens of <strong>water reservoirs. <\/strong>Water from the mountains will flow into these and is stored.

Laying out agroforestry plots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For another thing we support farmers and their families to make the switch to <strong>agroforestry<\/strong>. They plant indigenous trees and fruit trees on their land, interspersed with vegetables, fruit and other crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trees and crops stimulate sound, strong and fertile soil, which stores and washes down water better. This way, it is going to be a sustainable alternative for traditional use of land, such as animal husbandry or agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, the variation in crops makes people considerably less dependent on one type of food. Is one type in difficulty? In that case, there will be plenty of other food to live on or4 to sell in the marketplace. As a result, both their <strong>&nbsp;certainty of food <\/strong>&nbsp;and their income will increase.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/7-Perzikken-van-3-4-jaar-oude-boom-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Bolivia-agroforestry\" title=\"7 Perzikken van 3 - 4 jaar oude boom\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-agroforestry-9-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"agroforestry-bolivia\" title=\"Bolivia - Trees for All - agroforestry (9)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-agroforestry-4-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"agroforestry-bolivia\" title=\"Bolivia - Agroforestry (4)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-agroforestry-5-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"agroforestry-bolivia\" title=\"Bolivia - Trees for All - agroforestry (5)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-agroforestry-6-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"agroforestry-bolivia\" title=\"Bolivia - Trees for All - agroforestry (6)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bolivia-Trees-for-All-agroforestry-12-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Bolivia - Trees for All - agroforestry (12)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education for communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to make this project successful, it is important to get the population on their way properly.
