Sustainable development thanks to permacultureForests must be planted sustainably. This is made pos-sible by using permaculture, which combines modern science with traditional wisdom, leveraging as much as possible from nature for the biggest benefit to the environment, local population and biodiversity.
Learn from naturePermaculture seeks to learn from patterns that are found in nature to keep our impact on the environment to a minimum, factoring in issues of plant and animal life with the nutrient cycles, as well as issues of climate and weather, while also providing food and an economic role to everybody.
Local communities need to be involvedIn so doing, we address the immediate key issues ofjob security, food security, clean water and a localcash economy.
WeForest have projects in:Madagascar, Ethiopia, Burkina-Faso, Philippines, Haiti, India, Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania and Zambia.
Trees absorb carbon and make clouds:both are urgently needed to cool our planet
We need low altitude cloudsA comparatively small increase in cloud cover can change the earth‘s overall heat for the better.
