By RUTH SOLEDAD BUSTAMANTE MAMANI | THE CHALLENGE - MORE TREES
Dear Donors,
In recent months, we have been working on the restoration of degraded land and the eradication of poverty. The project is designed to benefit more than 4,000 families and to restore approximately 1,900 hectares of degraded soil each year, over a period of about seven consecutive years.
The geographic scope of implementation covers 35 rural communities located in the districts of Huanoquite, Omacha, Accha, Ccapi, and Ccapacmarca, in the Cusco region of Peru.
We are currently in the third year of implementation. We have recently completed our second forestry campaign (2024), successfully planting approximately 2,000 hectares. There is still a long road ahead, with much to learn alongside the participating communities and local governments.
We are currently in the third year of implementation, having successfully completed two forestry campaigns.
We continue to affirm that the future of the planet is in the hands of family farmers.
Our main Target of the MORE TREES project is to restore 13,300 hectares and establish 1,330 hectares in conservation.
Active community participation is essential to achieving the project's objectives, as their knowledge of the territory, commitment, and ownership of the processes ensure the sustainability and long-term impact of the actions implemented.
This project offers environmental, economic and social benefits in rural communities.
The analysis of the degraded ecosystem requires a lot of research and action. The assessment strategy we have implemented comprises the following steps:
Restoring eroded soils is not only possible, but essential. Although it is more challenging than intervening in earlier stages, the social, environmental, and economic benefits of rehabilitating degraded land make it a smart and necessary investment. By supporting this effort, you’re not just helping to heal the Earth — you're empowering communities, protecting biodiversity, and building a more sustainable future. Every contribution makes a real and lasting impacT.
Thank you for your generosity and continued support. Together, we are creating a better future.
