The incredible African Miombo forests - home to iconic wildlife, a significant global carbon stock, and supporting the lives of millions of people - are under threat. Through community-based forest management, WeForest is establishing thousands of hectares of forest regeneration and conservation. WeForest is working with farmers and local communities to protect and restore these forests.

In northern Ethiopia, most of the forest has disappeared or has been severely degraded. This means less productive soils and more frequent climate extremes like droughts and floods, causing extreme poverty. This programme in the Desa'a and Amhara regions aims to stop this vicious circle of forest degradation and poverty through restoring the forest and diversifying the population's income.

The Atlantic forest is one of the most biodiverse spots in the world yet deforestation has led to many small and isolated fragments and the loss of many native species. WeForest, with its partners IPE and AES Brasil, is reversing deforestation and biodiversity loss: trees are planted and grown so that forest corridors are created and the Tiete river watershed will be protected, which allow species to find new habitat and populations. In addition, a high amount of CO2 will be sequestered.
