Tree planting and saving is a big part of SHI's work with families in all four country programs.  Planting trees back onto the land restores nutrients to the soil, provides a home for plants and animals, prevents erosion, protects watersheds and mitigates global warming.

Unlike many other reforestation and preservation efforts, these farmers have not been paid to plant and save trees.  Rather, they commit to this work because they understand the benefits that these trees will bring to their families as they grow.  These benefits include improved nutrition and income from the production of fruit, nuts, spices, timber, coffee and cacao.
