Our tree planting project in November: Honduras

Together with our community and our partner One Tree Planted, we are committed to tree planting campaigns around the world. In November, we're supporting a tree planting project in Honduras. Learn why the actions are so important and what you can do in this blog.

Honduras suffers from one of the world's highest rates of deforestation, leading to water scarcity, soil loss and flooding. In November 2023, NIKIN is partnering with One Tree Planted to pursue a goal of reforesting 4,000 hectares of land. In doing so, we want to work with the local community to not only restore ecological diversity in the affected regions, but also strengthen the regional economy. This is done by planting high-quality wood species and agricultural goods such as coffee and cacao.

Reforestation as a social project

We work closely with the local community to plant and maintain mixed forests of native tree species and monitor them over the coming years. This not only creates jobs, but also improves the quality of life locally.

Sustainability through education

Our project in Honduras focuses not only on the gradual revitalization of the ecosystem, but also on community empowerment. In addition to promoting biodiversity and regional food security, it also aims to educate the local population. Through training in the field of the environment, the community should benefit sustainably from this project.
