Reforestation

These projects help local communities develop economically while also supporting conservation efforts. All GlobalGiving forestry projects have processes in place to maintain forests and their climate benefits rather than losing them to deforestation or fires.

GREEN FACT: Dr. Pep Canadell, from the Global Carbon Project and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, says in the journal Science that tropical deforestation releases 1.5 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year. (Science, May 11, 2007)
