Purpose on the Planet supports improved livelihoods for vulnerable communities in Madagascar and Tanzania through large-scale forest restoration and long-term conservation programs, in order to reduce the harshest impacts of extreme poverty today and climate change tomorrow. Since 2012, the community-based projects we support in Africa have served as an innovative and holistic solution for transforming a spiral of poverty-based decline into a virtuous cycle of positive development instead.
Africa has one-fifth of the planet’s remaining forests but is losing them faster than anywhere else. Better protection and restoration of these forest landscapes could reduce or remove 1 billion tonnes of CO2 annually while helping hundreds of thousands of Africans earn a better living.
