In June, we are putting the spotlight on reforestation and forest conservation in Malawi. With our partner One Tree Planted, we are working to curb deforestation and actively involve the local community in this important work. By implementing the "ten golden rules of reforestation," we are helping to restore forests.
An important part of this tree planting project is the cooperation with local people. We pay particular attention to the participation of women. We firmly believe that their voices and contributions are essential to the success of the project. Therefore, we encourage them to actively participate in the reforestation and benefit from the ecological and social advantages.

Protection of biodiversity and sustainable siting
In order to preserve the region's biodiversity, we place particular emphasis on protecting species diversity. We carefully select suitable sites for reforestation measures to ensure that we can take advantage of the forests' natural regeneration mechanisms. By planting native tree species, we help restore the ecological balance and improve habitats for animals and plants. In doing so, we rely on hardy plant material from botanical gardens.

Creation of economic benefits and improvement of living conditions
Our project aims not only to restore and protect forests, but also to create long-term environmental and social benefits for communities. By involving local people in the process, we create jobs and boost the local economy. Communities have the opportunity to benefit from the forest's resources, whether through sustainable timber management or the extraction of plant-based raw materials. Through this economic empowerment, we improve local living conditions and create a sustainable foundation for the future.

Per product sold = one tree in Malawi
The reforestation of forests in Malawi is a key concern that we are advancing together with our partner One Tree Planted. By involving local communities, especially women, protecting biodiversity and sustainable site selection, we are helping to restore the ecological balance and improve living conditions in the region.
