Our approach:
If you want to look after the forest,
you must first look after the
people responsible for it – the locals





ImageAs part of TI’s Reforestration and Forestry Management Programme, our first Green Initiative began in the Loreto area of the Upper Amazon Bassin of Peru.
Working in partnership with the local civil society, the public and the private sector expanding our Green Initiative to Kenya.

Our system is designed to provide the locals with their immediate needs, and also lay the foundations of long term sustainable development. We do this by paying them for each tree they plant and subsequently manage.

These incentives have proven successful in combating deforestation, encouraging reforestation, putting a stop to hunger and poverty, getting everyone in the community involved, and dramatically improving levels of understanding.
