Across East Africa, forests have been degraded and fragmented, leaving people, elephants and countless other species facing drought, hunger and crisis. But you can help local communities to plant trees that restore these shared landscapes so that they once again sustain both people and wildlife.

As forests are felled and fragmented, elephants and other wildlife are forced into smaller areas where they struggle to find food, water and safe migration routes. At the same time, local communities – who also depend on these forests – face poor harvests, more frequent droughts and increasing pressure on the land they depend on. But by planting the right trees in the right places, we can restore resilient landscapes that sustain both people and wildlife.
Working hand in hand with local community groups, we’re planting trees that reconnect ancient wildlife corridors, restore native forests and give elephants and countless other species the space they need to roam, feed and flourish. At the same time, these trees grow food, protect water and create sustainable livelihoods for the communities who care for them. Together, we're creating lasting change for people, wildlife and the shared forests they both depend on.
