Reforestation Project
Deforestation threatens thousands of species and has devastating consequences for humans. Forest loss jeopardizes human food and water security, threatens plants and animals with extinction, and contributes to climate change, putting communities and wildlife at increased risk of floods, droughts, infectious disease, and other natural disasters.
Wildlife Alliance’s reforestation project combats the impact of illegal logging and slash-and-burn farming practices while providing jobs to local residents. Eighty-two workers, primarily women, work in our tree nursery and care for the saplings year-round. Another 150 workers are employed seasonally during the planting season.
Under our Million Tree Nursery Project, more than 640,000 native tropical plant seeds have been collected and sowed in 2010 and 2011, with 460,000 trees planted. That is over 1,100 acres of rainforest that have been reforested and maintained in the last 2 years alone!
