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 are supporting a tree planting project in Honduras. Read this blog to find out why these campaigns are so important and what you can do.

Honduras suffers from one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, leading to water scarcity, soil loss and flooding. In November 2023, NIKIN is working with One Tree Planted to achieve the goal of reforesting 4,000 hectares of land. Together with the local community, we not only want to 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 cocoa.

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 local quality of life.

Sustainability through education

Our project in Honduras focuses not only on the gradual revitalization of the ecosystem, but also on strengthening the community. In addition to promoting biodiversity and regional food security, it also aims to educate the local population. The community should benefit from this project in the long term through environmental training.

Conclusion

Our commitment to the environment goes beyond supporting reforestation projects. We believe in the power of community and that together we can make the world a better place. Want to get involved too?

Hi Claude
Thank you for your interest in this tree planting project!
The project is reforesting areas in the north-eastern part of the country. It covers five areas, in each of which trees are planted at different locations:

1. in the Cordillera Nombre de Dios near La Ceiba
2. in the Cordillera Mico Quemado near El Progreso
3. in the basin of the El Cajón dam
4. in the basin of Lago de Yojoa
5. at various locations along the Corredor Occidente, in the provinces of Copán, Ocotepeque and Santa Bárbara.

Best regards,
your NIKIN team

I have already been to Honduras several times and will be there again.
Question: Where is the project actually located?

Kind regards
