This <strong>unique biodiversity<\/strong> is under considerable pressure from agricultural expansion, leading to deforestation. And the remaining forests are still threatened, as farmers illegally plant and grow crops there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, together with PAMS and the local people we want to <strong>reforest 6,200 hectares of land<\/strong> and better protect the existing forest. In this way we increase and protect the habitat of all those plants and animals. Besides, we help communities on their way with agroforestry. This is a sustainable alternative to regular agriculture, in which farmers need far less land and existing forest no longer needs to be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The locals play the leading part in this project: they grow, plant and protect the trees. Not only does the project render more biodiversity in this way, it also procures better living conditions for the people, who get extra work and income from the project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:45%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper-inner  has-primary-background-color\" style=\"padding:30px 30px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\">Calculate your CO2 emissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Via Trees for All, you can calculate your personal CO2 emissions: as <a href=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/en\/offset-carbon-emissions\/\">an individual<\/a> or as <a href=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/en\/for-businesses\/offset-carbon-emissions\/\">a company<\/a>.

Furthermore, participating farmers will receive annual income for the land they make available and for maintaining the trees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n    <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\/2024\/11\/DSC_6619-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"flap-necked-chameleon \" title=\"DSC_6619\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC_6820-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Usambara-three-horned-chameleon\" title=\"DSC_6820\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Leptopelis-vermiculatus2-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"peacock-tree-frog \" title=\"Leptopelis vermiculatus2\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>Numerous plants and animals benefit from the forest restoration, such as the Usambara three-horned chameleon,<\/em> <em>Flap-necked chameleon en  Peacock tree frog.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">    <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\/2024\/11\/Richard-and-one-year-old-Khaya-in-farm-with-beans-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"tanzania-trees-for-all\" title=\"Richard and one year old Khaya in farm with beans\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20250220_048-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"tanzania-trees-for-all\" title=\"20250220_048\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20250221_040-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"tanzania-trees-for-all\" title=\"20250221_040\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Locals help in the nursery and plant the trees themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Agroforestry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planting trees is not very useful if the very trees are felled for agriculture. And that is a risk: at the moment some farmers grow crops illegally in the forest reserve bordering on our project area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason we are going to coach farmers into using their land more sustainably by offering them an alternative: agroforestry. This is a form of silviculture, in which farmers plant both trees and crops, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, jackfruit, corn, beans, cardamom, yams, cloves and cinnamon: partly for their own consumption, partly to sell at the local market. To this end, farmers are specifically trained by PAMS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper  has-primary-background-color\"><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 has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-268b66299882ef7be203d51536ac54b0\">Benefits of agroforestry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ba1898c929f4e6a69b8fef7a99827995\">Agroforestry has all kinds of advantages for the climate, biodiversity and the people themselves. The trees absorb <strong>CO2<\/strong>, attract <strong>plants and animals<\/strong> and make for more fertile<strong> soil<\/strong>. Besides, an agroforestry lot harbors wide variety of crops. In case one species has a hard time as a result of drought or pest, there will still be a good harvest from the other species. This way we improve people\u2019s <strong>food security and income<\/strong>. And best of all: because of this approach, farmers no longer need to destroy surrounding forests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Protecting forests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(Re)planting trees is important, but protecting new and existing forest possibly even more so. For the sake of biodiversity, but also for climate and people in the region. As a result of deforestation, water provisions in the villages deteriorate and the soil gets less and less fertile. Drought increases on clear cut slopes. Growing food gets increasingly more difficult, causing decreasing yields and food security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to counter deforestation, PAMS teaches community members to become <strong>Village Forest Guards<\/strong>. Double advantage: better protection of planting sites and neighboring forest reserves AND more people have jobs in forest protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">    <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\/2024\/12\/20250220_101-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"20250220_101\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20250221_034-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"20250221_034\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20250221_050-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"20250221_050\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper overlap-bottom has-secondary-background-color\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\">The planting location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\">The project is set in the Nguru Mountains in Tanzania.
