Reforest’action is collaborating with Yakopi (Yayasan Konservasi Pesisir Indonesia) to restore mangrove forests in areas with previous degradation and deforestation, by involving community participation in Aceh and North Sumatra provinces, Indonesia. This project is designed to restore damaged mangrove ecosystems where the mangrove restoration program is beneficial for carbon stocks, improves water quality, wildlife habitat, and extraordinary climate resilience, and contributes to sustainable local economic and social development. This project will also support the economies of coastal communities that depend on fishing. Indeed, mangrove forests have an ecological function as a habitat for marine life.

Indonesia is the country most affected by deforestation in the world, with its forest disappearing twice as fast as in the Amazon. Mangroves, in particular, are the forest ecosystem that is disappearing at the most alarming rate. While North Sumatra province had 200,000 hectares of mangroves in 1987, less than half of this remains today with only 83,000 hectares. In Aceh province, the mangroves were also severely degraded by the 2004 tsunami. Land use change and forest degradation are the main causes of mangrove loss in Sumatra, which tends to be replaced by oil palm monocultures or intensive aquaculture ponds, when it is not illegally cut for charcoal production.

The NGO Yayasan Konservasi Pesisir Indonesia (Yakopi) was founded in 2019 to accompany local people and young foresters in the creation and conservation of mangrove ecosystems. The NGO is composed of members of recognized institutions, professors and experienced executives, who assist the beneficiaries in developing a green economy. Reforest'Action has been funding the Yakopi project since 2021 and is contributing to its development across North Sumatra.

Reforest'Action is partnering with the NGO Yakopi to restore the mangroves of North Sumatra and enable them to once again realise their wide range of environmental and socio-economic benefits. The project's mangrove restoration activities are closely linked to the socio-economic activities of the people and enable them to achieve sustainability in terms of resource renewal and livelihoods. Through the mobilisation of the populations, the project aims to ensure the sustainability of the restored mangrove ecosystems.

In this context, Reforest’Action is partnering with the Balipara Foundation, an Indian NGO, with the dual objective of restoring the forests of the State of Assam, in the Eastern Himalayas, and developing agroforestry in order to provide local communities with more sustainable agricultural solutions for their cotton and tea crops. 

By planting over 1 million trees, this project will help fight global warming thanks to the carbon stored in their wood, enrich the soil, recharge the aquifers and protect the crops from too much sun, preserve and develop local biodiversity as well as allow local communities to harvest the fruits to increase their food security. Surplus crops can be sold in local markets to provide additional income. Local people are also trained in the benefits of agroforestry and the long-term maintenance of the planted trees. Through forest restoration linked incomes, communities are better able to access universal basic assets such as healthcare and education.

The Indian state of Assam, located in the eastern tip of India, has lost more than 9.5% of its vegetation cover since 2000, due to the increasing conversion of natural primary forests into agricultural plots, and the invasion of exotic species that thrive at the expense of native vegetation. The result is a decline in the health of natural ecosystems, with soil degradation, increasing land desertification, and the depletion of water tables. Faced with a degraded environment, local populations are confronted with decreasing agricultural yields, which goes hand in hand with the collapse of their food security. In the state of Assam, only 8% of young people between the ages of 6 and 23 benefit from a healthy and balanced diet.

Founded in 2007, Balipara Foundation is an Indian NGO first dedicated to the conservation of Asian elephants across India. After several years in the field, their expertise enabled them to establish the link between saving elephants and preserving their natural environment: the forests. This led to the creation of the Rural Futures model, which aims to restore forests while generating income for local communities. Since the creation of Balipara, over 2,000 hectares of forest have been restored. Alongside these reforestation programs, Balipara has been developing agroforestry projects with local communities for the past 5 years, combining trees and cash crops to generate additional income.

Reforest'Action has joined forces with the NGO Balipara Foundation to restore the forests within the state of Assam, on the eastern edge of India, between Bhutan, China and Bangladesh. The aim of this project is twofold: to restore the degraded forests of this eastern Himalayan region, and to develop agroforestry within tea and cotton crops in order to provide local communities with more sustainable agricultural solutions. The "Living Lab India" Project is being developed under the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance established by His Majesty King Charles III as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative. The CBA aims to catalyze investment to create resilient landscapes and sustainable markets powered by nature.

The project takes place in the Peruvian Amazon, in the region of San Martin. Their principals’ objectives are fight against deforestation, preserve endangered tree species, restore degraded ecosystems and reassess more species of native flora. To achieve these the project incentives the restauration through an economic incentive to the beneficiaries and provide, technical support for agroforestry systems.

Historically located around the city of Tarapoto, in the Cordillera Escalera Conservation Area, the project has expanded over the years to encompass three northeastern regions in Peru: San Martín, Loreto and Ucayali. Anchored in the upper Amazon, the project area was originally covered by tropical forests and wetlands. Since the late 20th century, the expansion of agricultural programmes for the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, bananas, maize and manioc, as well as the construction of road infrastructure have led to the massive deforestation of primary forests. The families of the Shawi, Awajun and Quechua ethnic groups are increasingly suffering from the disappearance of natural ecosystems: changes in the rainy season, prolonged droughts and lack of water are becoming commonplace.

Founded in 2004, the Urku Centre, located in Tarapoto, carries out activities to develop Amazonian biodiversity and raise awareness among local communities. Made up of a multidisciplinary team that combines traditional and scientific knowledge, the Urku Centre monitors the production of seedlings in several nurseries, as well as the logistics of the plantations. Alongside local cooperatives, our partner also ensures the recovery and growth of the planted trees.


Initiated in 2015, the project developed in the Peruvian region of San Martín is the first project financed by Reforest'Action at the very heart of the Amazon rainforest. Currently implemented within two Shawi communities, the 2022-2023 season reflects the evolution of the work carried out with the local people. Today, it is no longer about planting trees, but promoting the natural regeneration of the forest. Since 2022, the Urku Centre, which is the project leader on the ground, has been working hand in hand with the Shawi people to fight deforestation and restore degraded ecosystems, without planting. With funding from Reforest'Action, our partner is developing and promoting a range of economic incentives to discourage farming families from further damaging their land through conventional practices or from cutting down the surrounding forest. By allowing nature to take over, many of the region's native trees and plants will be able to regenerate on their own.
