A transparent history of our climate action. Each tile represents an individual contribution to an impact project.
Since January this year, this project has planted 124,800 trees across 49 hectares of restored land, with a clear focus on repairing degraded soil and trapping moisture back into the ground.
The community had reported that there is already a notable difference in the soil quality and the moisture retention of their land!
Locally, these trees will help cool the surrounding area and store carbon, creating global benefits.
The project completed a major milestone through the distribution of 504,721 seedlings to 245 farmers across the four target villages.
The distribution included agroforestry and livelihood-supporting species, including approximately 14,500 papaya seedlings. To maximise impact and avoid wastage, 50,750 remaining seedlings were donated to local institutions, including 25 primary schools, 20 secondary schools and one university. Seedling losses remained low, with only 5,055 seedlings lost during the distribution process.
The project continued using adaptive management approaches through 28 weekly coordination meetings, which supported progress tracking, problem-solving, and planning. Although planned monthly farmer group and extensionist meetings were not conducted separately due to competing implementation priorities, farmer engagement continued through integrated field activities and wrap-up meetings.
This part of Guatemala has experienced a severe drought, with only 10 days of rain this year. To adapt, they have had to get creative.
The team have planted hardy species that are drought-resistant and are clearing areas of brush to make room for assisted natural regeneration of the forest. They are already seeing great results from these efforts!
RestorationEra are also working with each family to restore the areas nearest to their homes, which can be watered by hand.
The local leaders are committed to making this project a success despite the circumstances!
Through your support, Ecologi will enable more than 34,000 smallholder families across Mount Kenya and the Coastal region to plant 2,750,000 new trees this year.
One Acre Fund’s agroforestry program continues to play a critical role in restoring landscapes, improving rural livelihoods, and generating climate resilience at scale across Kenya.
Ecologi’s industry-leading selection process draws on trusted relationships across nature restoration and carbon markets. Its assessment frameworks consider project quality, risk and potential long-term benefits for climate, nature and local communities, helping direct support where it’s needed most.
Wherever you are on your climate journey, Ecologi can help you take meaningful climate action.
