In turn, the disappearance of tree species poses a major threat to thousands of other plants, fungi and animals that share their ecosystems. It also threatens the life and well-being of humanity, which depends on forests for food, firewood and timber, as well as for medicines, air purification and climate regulation, through the absorption of carbon pollution.

‘The DRC is putting in place legal instruments and institutional arrangements to consolidate its place in this market, while remaining open to partnerships in accordance with the Paris Agreement and its domestic laws’, he said.

In his speech, Tshisekedi also emphasised the urgent need to recognise the link between climate change, environmental degradation and security. He called on the Security Council to establish international mechanisms to include these issues in their discussions. ‘Awareness of the challenges posed by climate instability and the depletion of natural resources, which are often at the root of armed conflicts, underlines the urgent need for action,’ added the Congolese president.

With 152 million hectares of forest covering 67% of the national territory, the DRC has immense potential for carbon credits, particularly in terms of avoided deforestation. The DRC is home to 8% of the world’s forest carbon and is a key player in the fight against global warming. The government has adopted regulations to structure this market. The first is Ordinance-Law No. 23/007 of 03 March 2023 amending and supplementing Law No. 11/009 of 09 July 2011 on the fundamental principles of environmental protection. There is also Decree No. 23/22 of 14 June 2023 on the creation, organisation and operation of a public institution called the Carbon Market Regulatory Authority in the DRC, as well as the interministerial order of September 2023 of the Ministries of the Environment and Finance on the sharing of the portion of the benefits of carbon credits that should accrue to the Congolese State.

Last year, President Tshisekedi called for a fair price for carbon credits in order to support African countries that contribute to forest conservation. ‘It is incomprehensible that companies and governments are investing billions in artificial carbon capture technologies at USD 400 per tonne, when they are devoting just USD 5 per tonne to the conservation of tropical forests’, he had already stressed at a mini-summit in 2023. Tshisekedi also reaffirmed the DRC’s ambition to set aside 15% of its territory, i.e. 323,623 km², for biodiversity conservation by 2030. This includes the creation of 70 million hectares of conservation areas, 30 million of which will be dedicated to community conservation.

In collaboration with the organisations Graine de vie and FANYATU, the association has launched an ambitious reforestation project.

At the instigation of Sendova Simba, Chairman of the LJIDC Board of Directors, the Association has set up a network of nurseries at the Kihumba, Kisheke and Kibanda sites. The aim is clear: to produce more than 50,000 seedlings to replant the Idjwi lands.

These nurseries are more than just places to grow plants: they are home to a diversity of species carefully selected for their benefits. These include fertiliser trees to enrich the soil and promote sustainable agriculture, agroforestry trees to restore degraded forests and create balanced ecosystems, and fruit trees to reduce Idjwi’s dependence on imports and stimulate the local economy.

A commitment to future generations

Under the impetus of Rector Avlessi and with the support of the Rectorate’s sanitation department, the administrative staff union and the students and teachers of the Institut du Cadre de Vie (ICAV), more than 400 seedlings were planted on the production and experimentation site of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of the University of Abomey-Calavi, at Sèdjè Dénou in the Commune of Zè.

Reposting Century Box Mainetti post:

We are overjoyed to announce a remarkable achievement in our journey towards sustainability and environmental regeneration. Since the launch of our partnership with the incredible NGO, Graine de Vie NGO, we have planted an astounding 36,000 trees in our nursery in Madagascar!
This significant milestone is not just a number—it represents our deep commitment to creating a greener, healthier planet. Our nursery is flourishing with a diverse mix of fruit trees, cash trees, and canopy trees, each playing a vital role in restoring ecosystems, supporting local economies, and combating climate change.
Our collaboration with Graine de Vie has enabled us to make a tangible impact, demonstrating that together, we can create a sustainable future for our planet and its people. These 36,000 trees are a testament to what we can achieve with shared vision and dedication.
As we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on our goal of nurturing the environment and empowering communities. We’re not just planting trees; we’re growing hope, opportunity, and life.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative. Your belief in our mission fuels our determination to push boundaries and make a difference.

Here’s to growing together and reaching new heights in sustainability.

Beyond the numerical impact lies a narrative of community commitment. The engagement of nearly 7,600 parents and students in Antolojanahary and neighboring villages signifies a community united for environmental preservation. This successful model stands as a potential blueprint, encouraging us to explore its application in other regions for a broader positive impact.”  Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation

There is no question that forests and their biodiversity have many benefits to us all. Yet the direct impact they have on communities living around them is enormous.  Remote African communities rely heavily on forests for their source of sustenance for their families.  Partnering with these communities for forest protection is a win-win for us all: thanks to their active improvement the longevity of environmental projects is more secured.

Reforesting, conservation and accounting for our work efforts is a big job as the sites are often in very remote and difficult to access zones. Our teams travel for days to reach them. The last trip (couple of weeks ago) took 3 days: 5-hour river crossing by motorized canoe before reaching the village of Antanandavahely. From there, 2,5 days walk on foot to reach Betsirebaka restoration plot in Masoala Park, Madagascar, where we planted on 50ha of degraded land. #conservation #reforestation #treeplanting #carbonfootprint
