The planet's second green lung, the African equatorial rainforest, is disappearing at an alarming rate (3.9 million hectares per year), with dire consequences for the biodiversity of which we are a part.
A few hundred chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) live in this area. They are considered "endangered due to poaching and deforestation". Yet they play an essential role in their ecosystem through their role as pollinators and actively participate in the ecological balance of tropical forests!
Solution
Identify, restore forest reserves in order tocreate an ecological corridor enabling the development of biodiversitywith the help of local populations. This project will put an end to the fragmentation of natural habitats for all local wildlife.
Local populations are at the heart of this project. They are the ones who determine where, when and how to act. They are the ones who decide how best to work for them, while preserving their natural heritage (animal and floral).

Chimpanzees are protected too!
Dear captains, in addition to protecting the Mont Ganza community forest, our project involves ensuring the continuity of the ecological corridor necessary for the genetic diversity of the local fauna.
Thanks to you, we were recently able to maintain 2 kilometers on the edge of the Vyanda nature reserve, one of the last refuges for chimpanzees in southern Burundi.
Thanks to you, every member of the community lives in harmony with their natural environment! Thank you.

Your support over the past year has enabled significant advances in our project to restore an ecological corridor in Burundi.
Over the past year, you have helped to:
- accurately map 815 hectares
- plant more than 23,000 native trees, more than 80% of which survive more than 2 months
- create 9.7km of fire belt to protect the corridor from fires
- hiring 2 community guards each month
- and much more!
A big thank you for your generosity in creating a better world between humans, other animals and our shared environment!
