Reforest with TreeSisters’ Restoration Strategy

Women's relationship with forests is often subject to inequality and injustice that reflects the broader patriarchal system. Research shows that by supporting women's participation in reforestation, we can achieve more sustainable outcomes not only for women and girls but also for the forests they inhabit and the wider climate.

RESTORE & REFOREST. We are value-led. Our approach and impact go far beyond the number of trees in the ground. They intend to rebalance power dynamics, support connections with Nature, empower women and champion the knowledge of those working directly with the natural environment they inhabit. All while reforesting and restoring our incredible natural world.

What are we doing, and how can you help
TreeSisters’ Restoration Strategy aims to redress the imbalance in community forestry. This is being delivered through several of our projects, including agroforestry and restoration in Kasese, Uganda, empowering vulnerable women and children through fruit tree planting in Bolivia, and working with female indigenous leaders restoring the Itombwe Rainforest in the Democratic Republic of Congo. You can learn more about these projects in our Gender Equity Counts blog.

Nature is in crisis, and gender injustice is a major driver. Redressing the balance through gender-equitable approaches at all levels and for all genders is critical to slowing and reversing the environmental damage done to date.
This is no easy task, and we need your support. Help us redress the balance today.
