This area is home to many unique plants and animals and plays an important role in maintaining a stable local climate. Yet the forest is under pressure: more and more trees are being lost due to illegal logging, agricultural expansion and wildfires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, our partner Oikos works to improve the protection of the reserve. By establishing patrol teams, clearly demarcating the reserve boundaries, and working closely with local communities, Oikos aims to prevent further deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trees for All helps to expand these activities. This involves not only protecting the forest but also restoring it. We encourage local farmers to use their land in a different, more sustainable way. In this way, the forest can recover while the existing forest is protected as much as possible. Step 1: planting 25,000 trees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:45%\">\n<div

But that is not all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">Many families in Pemba live in dire poverty. They use the forest for their firewood, lumber and wild fruit. For generations, local communities used the forest sustainably. However, as the population has grown, the forest has come under increasing pressure. This should be taken into account if we want to restore the forest successfully. So, we work towards a solution which contributes to both restoration of nature and sustainable livelihoods for the people in the region: a combination of sustainable agroforestry and creating woodlots.<\/p>\n\n\n\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\/2026\/05\/IMG_1558-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_1558\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_1579-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_1579\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PEMBA-SCOPS-OWL-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"PEMBA SCOPS OWL\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/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-8f761849 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\">1. Agroforestry <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with Oikos, we are launching a pilot project with farmers living just outside the reserve to introduce agroforestry. This is a form of sustainable agriculture, in which planting trees is integrated with crops on the same land:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, we will plant indigenous trees that belong in the region and fast-growing <strong>shade trees<\/strong>. Over time, this will have a positive effect on soil quality and crops that farmers already grow, such as cassava. These trees will be planted by the end of 2026.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the meantime, we will decide, together with the farmers, what crops they are going to add in the longer run to <strong>diversify their farms<\/strong>. This includescrops that thrive in shade, have high nutritional value and can be sold in local markets. This will be discussed with farmers over the coming months.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, farmers will receive<strong> payments<\/strong> for every tree that remains standing, encouraging them to protect and maintain the trees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78577\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TREE-NURSERY-2-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The local tree nursery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78564\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ILLEGAL-TREE-CUTTING-IN-DAY-TIME-scaled.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Woodlots help reduce illegal logging in the reserve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\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.
