🌿 Forests do more than grow trees


They underpin livelihoods, reduce poverty, and strengthen food systems.  Forests are not only home to biodiversity, but they are also engines of sustainable economic value. Earth Day 2026 is an opportunity to make a direct impact on people and nature.

They create jobs
International research confirms that community-led reforestation is one of the most effective ways to generate local employment and strengthen livelihoods.
They strengthen food security
Over a billion people depend on forest foods such as fruits and nuts, so restoring forests directly supports nutrition and food security for forest dependent communities.
They power sustainable development
Natural climate solutions, like reforestation, deliver up to one-third of the emissions reductions needed by 2030 to meet climate targets.
At Graine de Vie, we restore forests that sustain livelihoods and build resilient local economies.  Your donation makes a real difference.

Your Donation in Action: Real Climate Impact

See how tree planting strengthens climate resilience for communities
On the banks of the Mayi Ndombe River (DRC), local communities are taking climate action.


Each year, heavy rains weaken the soil and threaten the nearby road. With support from Graine de Vie, trees are planted to stabilize the riverbanks, prevent erosion, and protect essential infrastructure.
These trees do more than restore the landscape — they strengthen climate resilience. They protect livelihoods, secure access to transport, and help communities adapt to a changing climate.
This is climate action in practice: planting trees to restore lands, protect people and their future.
