Sustainable Development Goals

Quality Education

279 people

trained in forest management, building skill capacity in the community

Decent work and economic growth

424 new jobs

created, boosting the local economy

Climate Action

37,000 tonnes of CO2e

sequestered from the atmosphere on average each year

Life on land

4,011 hectares

reforested improving biodiversity and soil quality

The Solution

The project is planting teak trees on degraded land in the states of Tabasco, Chiapas and Campeche, in the south of the United States of Mexico. Part of the areas will be used for sustainable commercial purposes and part will be protected conservation areas to allow wildlife and biodiversity to thrive.

The Impact

The project is driving significant economic development in a sustainable way by creating new jobs for local people, training them in forest management and creating a supply chain of teak wood. As the trees grow not only do they sequester carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate global warming, by biodiversity, soil quality and water conservation are enhanced.
