Our projects work across all forest landscape types and entire market systems because thereis no one-size-fits all solution to deforestation and forest degradation.
Our portfolio primarily consists of Forest Partnerships which span four hotspot regions for deforestation and forest degradation – West and Central Africa, East Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
