A million trees to energize DR Congo's rainforest

Location: Bogor, Indonesia
Summary
Thousands of hectares of land in Yangambi (northern DR Congo) are no longer productive after decades of overexploitation. The soil is poor, agriculture yields are low, and trees for wood energy are scarce. In response, local communities are planting trees to restore the land. Over 1 million trees have been planted in agroforestry systems that enrich the soil, feed families, and meet local energy needs. With your help, we can plant another million trees!
