Reforest'Action is partnering with the High Atlas Foundation in collaboration with the Moroccan Department of Water and Forests to contribute to the resilience of the ecosystems as well as the economic development of the local populations. 

To do this, 300,000 trees are planted over two years. This approach will help meet
the objectives set by the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture, which plans to plant one billion trees to alleviate the systemic poverty that plagues Moroccan rural communities. The planting of fruit trees will revitalize agroecosystems and further develop fruit production by planting species native to the region.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, empowerment, and supporting culture and spirituality.

Contributes to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect and influences precipitation patterns and the local microclimate.

Influences the quality and integrity of the soil-water system, and the cycling of water and nutrients.

Preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.

In Morocco, climate change and the hazards it causes, such as droughts, considerably weaken the agroecosystems in the north-western part of the country. In this region known for its arboriculture, but dominated by cereal farming, agricultural practices also contribute to deteriorating soils and polluting ecosystems. Families of small-scale producers are particularly vulnerable on the social and economic level. Indeed, illiteracy and the lack of access to communication technologies contribute to the vulnerability of the inhabitants of this mountainous area. Today, the major challenge is to restore Taza's agroecosystems, in order to mitigate the effects of climate change and empower farmers.

The High Atlas Foundation is a Moroccan association and an American NGO, founded in 2000 by former Peace Corps volunteers committed to sustainable development. HAF supports Moroccan communities in implementing development initiatives that promote organic agriculture, women's autonomy, education, youth integration, and population health. Since 2011, the association has acquired the status of consultant in the United Nations Economic and Social Council. HAF has planted nearly 4 million fruit trees in 39 provinces of Morocco, benefiting 15,000 producer families. 

In the province of Taza, Reforest'Action is partnering with the High Atlas Foundation to involve women's communities in the development of agroforestry.  The project, carried out in collaboration with the Moroccan Department of Water and Forests, is designed to produce and distribute 400,000 fruit trees to 3,000 local farmers over two years. Through the development of agroforestry, the project aims to support the transition from a monospecific cereal crop to a surplus of organic fruits. This approach will help meet the objectives set by the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture, which plans to plant one billion trees to alleviate the systemic poverty that plagues Moroccan rural communities. A double impact, both environmental and socio-economic, is expected from this regenerative project, which allows to improve the living conditions of local communities through the sale of fruits from the trees, a source of additional income.

This project aims to improve the socio-economic life of the inhabitants of Saint-Michel de l'Attalaye by the establishment of 500.000 seedlings of both forest and fruit trees. The restoration benefits will impact directly to local communities as natural disaster risk reduction and protection from erosion and seawater intrusion. The project will also create multiple effects on improving local community incomes, creating new work-opportunities (mostly women group) directly involved in trees plantation, training of beneficiaries with knowledge transfer, encouraging organic production, protecting land agricultural production and providing profit sharing cash money for environmental mission on restoring the ecosystem.

Discovered in the 15th century by Christopher Columbus, the island of Hispaniola, comprising Haiti to the west and the Dominican Republic to the east, was originally 80% covered by a wide variety of trees. Today, Haiti is one of the most deforested countries in the world, with only 2% of the country's total surface area covered by woodland. In 2022 alone, deforestation in the country emitted 894,000 tons of CO2 equivalent. Today, facing extreme poverty, the rural population is forced to chop down trees to produce charcoal, the only fuel available in the absence of any national energy policy. Farming families are bearing the brunt of negative impacts resulting from forest ecosystem destruction: soil degradation and lower crop productivity, prolonged drought, water pollution and more.

Agrinotech stands for "new agricultural technologies". Agrinotech is a Haitian association specializing in the deployment of agricultural techniques conducive to the sustainable management of natural resources and the socio-economic development of local populations. Founded by a group of Haitian and American agronomists, Agrinotech focuses in particular on soil conservation and environmental preservation, as well as on training local producers in the latest sustainable farming methods.

Reforest'Action is partnering with Agrinotech to run an agroforestry project that is both socially meaningful and impact-generating. In nine sections of the Saint-Michel de l'Attalaye region, our partner is dedicated to raise awareness among local populations and to provide training in sustainable agriculture, the only viable means of subsistence in the face of climate change. Forest, fruit, and medicinal species have been integrated into the crops of farmers from the municipality of Saint-Michel-de-l'Attalaye. The primary goals of this program are to regenerate the area's vegetation cover and to ensure the food and economic security of local communities. However, long-term objectives include preserving water sources and groundwater, which are already under threat, and increasing stream flows in the Saint-Michel area, while providing people with sustainably sourced timber in order to reduce pressure on surrounding forests.

CLEAN_WATER_AND_SANITATION

At an altitude of over 2,000 meters, the misty landscape of the Piura highlands is deceptive. This is indeed an arid ecosystem, made up of sparse dry forests threatened by desertification. The harsh climate is compounded by deforestation, a consequence of growing agricultural needs. According to the Servicio Nacional Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre, over 600,000 hectares of forest have been illegally cleared in the Piura region over the past twenty years. The province of Huancabamba, where the project financed by Reforest'Action is located, suffers the highest rate of deforestation. The near absence of vegetation exposes arable soils to water and wind erosion. Fires, which feed on the scanty brushwood, also represent a growing threat, while long periods without rainfall are dangerously drying up water resources.

Reforest’Action is associated with the Peruvian NGO Progreso, founded in 1993\. The NGO has more than 25 years of experience in the development of agroforestry systems, the improvement of food security for the populations of the Piura region and the fight against climate change. The Progreso team works hand in hand with local district governments and farming communities. Progreso will ensure the monitoring of the planted trees and raise awareness among villagers about sustainable agriculture and the importance of preserving forests.

Starting in 2019, this is the second natural ecosystem regeneration project financed by Reforest'Action in Peru. On the highlands of the Piura region and in partnership with Peruvian NGO PROGRESO, the actions carried out aim to regenerate the eroded soil and to fight against desertification. In this context, planting trees is an effective way of improving the soil, with many positive cascading effects: better water infiltration, control of water erosion, barrier against mudslides, recovery and maintenance of water resources, and improved soil fertility. At the surface, tree crowns act as windbreaks against wind erosion. Besides, the presence of vegetation in the landscape also generates a more humid microclimate, conducive to agriculture and livestock farming.
