Go Forest accelerates ecosystem restoration by planting the right kind of trees in environments where they have the most positive effects on biodiversity, carbon storage, employment, livelihood, and local economy. Climate project experts select, check, and follow up on the best projects worldwide.
Our project portfolio ranges from small projects in Belgium and many other European countries to large and scaleable projects in the Global South. In every project — far away or nearby, large or small — we maintain the same values: transparency, tangibility, and long-term impact.
As tree planting can take multiple forms, we’re happy to introduce you to our three main categories below:
Reforestation
- Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, U.K., Ireland, Brazil, the D.R. Congo, Tanzania, Armenia.
Reforestation is the process of restoring forests by planting trees in areas where forests have been depleted due to deforestation, natural disasters, or land degradation.
Agroforestry
- Peru, Argentina, Madagascar, Tanzania, the D.R. Congo
Agroforestry is a land-use management system that integrates trees, crops, or livestock to create sustainable and productive landscapes.
Mangroves
- Madagascar
Mangrove restoration is the process of restoring degraded or destroyed mangrove forests to restore their ecological and socio-economic benefits.
Other project types and services
In addition to planting trees, you can opt for additional services to conserve certain areas, prevent certain risks, or map certain impacts.
Reforestation & Agroforestry in The D.R. Congo
Together with Faja Lobi, Go Forest works with the local communities in a bottom-up approach to realise large-scale reforestation and agroforestry projects.
Mangroves & agroforestry in Madagascar
In Madagascar, social enterprise Bôndy and Go Forest focus on planting trees in an agroforestry system as well as mangroves in coastal areas.
Reforestation & agroforestry in Tanzania
In cooperation with the Changamoto Youth Development Organization, we want to restore forests in the Magamba Nature Forest Reserve that were burnt down in the past.
Reforestation in Europe
Thousands of hectares of forests are threatened by climate change, pests, and diseases in Europe. That is why we, together with Sylva Nova, decided to give the forest ecosystem in Europe a hand as well.
Afforestation in Armenia
It is estimated that 200 years ago Armenia’s forest cover was twice as large as it was in the beginning of the 20th century. The country faces significant risks caused by climate change. Exceptional weather phenomena and their consequences have become especially frequent: droughts, landslides and forest fires.
Agroforestry in Peru
In Peru, the agroforestry project in cooperation with Camino Verde focuses on successional agroforestry (farming with trees).
Forest corridors in Brazil
The Atlantic Forest in Brazil is the world's most important ecosystem next to the Amazon forest - and it's quickly disappearing. Less than 15% of the forest remains; if we don't take action now, it will be gone within a generation.
Agroforestry in Argentina
Go Forest and field partner Alianza Wichi act to protect and defend indigenous cultures, nature, and biodiversity of the Yunga and Chaco regions in northern Argentina.
