Solution

Cœur de Forêt works on a daily basis to give everyone the means to take action to preserve forests. Convinced that an alternative to deforestation is possible, the association accompanies populations towards an economic valorization that preserves forests and favors human development by refusing preconceived ideas and not hesitating to get off the beaten track to build solutions adapted to the reality of the issues at stake. Its priority is to take concrete action on the ground to collectively create the momentum for positive change.

Cœur de forêt leads reforestation campaigns and supports farmers towards agroforestry and forest owners towards sustainable management of their forests. The association also conducts awareness-raising campaigns among local populations to sensitize them to the challenges of forest preservation, and develops fair trade channels on its international projects while promoting the French timber industry through short circuits.

For nearly 20 years, the association has been working for greater environmental justice, including the partner populations of our projects. We are proud to see the results and their contributions encouraging awareness of the importance of forests and the need to protect them.
In 2023, Coeur de Forêt planted 670,000 trees of 223 different species, and 12,876 faces carried our values.
More than 11,000 people (adults/children) were made aware of climate issues and forest preservation. By 2023, we had helped 1,451 producers and forest owners make the ecological transition to sustainable forestry.

A huge thank you to all those who support our actions!

Four trained nurserymen tell their stories!

Meet four nurserymen trained and accompanied on our project in Madagascar. In 2 minutes, they share with you their strong attachment to the reforestation of their island.

An immersion to understand the rapid impact of our reforestation strategies: the planting models with the integration of a diversity of tree species, the benefits of the nursery profession for the populations and the improvement of the landscape that these beneficiaries instill around them.

You'll see, the number of trees planted on the counter of these four people is already impressive. And they want to go even further!
