Plant Your Future - Plant trees in the Amazon by supporting rainforest communities to plant trees and improve their livelihoods
Stop Climate Change
We’re planting trees in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest where they grow fast and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere quickly.
Fight Poverty
We’re working directly with remote smallholder farming communities in the Northern Amazon Rainforest
Defend Nature
Our work helps protect the natural habitat of critically endangered species
Empowering Peruvian Farmers
With the perfect combination of conditions — heat and plenty of rain — trees grow fast in the Amazon Rainforest. But meaningful action in the fight against climate change has to begin at grassroots. Peruvian smallholder farmers have become trapped in a cycle of poverty, borne from a legacy of degradation and false promises of the ability of the land to sustainably support cattle and crops. Your donations are helping Plant Your Future to engage and empower these farmers to restore the Amazon Rainforest with ‘agroforestry’ – providing them with a sustainable income that reduces the threat of deforestation. Help us make more of an impact in the fight against climate change and donate today.
Plant Your Future farmers work with us, not for us
Plant Your Future’s unique way of working, combined with the agroforestry systems we’ve developed and helped farmers to establish, is the reason for our continued success. Read more about how we began and why building Amazonian farmers capacity in sustainable farming is important for the restoration of the Amazon Rainforest.
“I want to bring back value to my land that has become valueless”
Plant your Future is helping subsistence Amazonian farmers transition from unsustainable agriculture to market-oriented agroforestry systems. Our work is not only about farming more sustainably but also improving livelihoods. Read more about the Farmers we are working with.
