Likoma Reforestation

The Reforestation Project on Likoma Island was launched to restore the island’s green cover and counter the environmental impact of deforestation. Every year, we grow thousands of tree seedlings in our nurseries and distribute them throughout the island – encouraging schools, families, and local leaders to take part in the planting and care of new trees.

In 2024, we distributed 18,880 trees over 11 established nurseries, marking a 27% increase from the year before. This growth was made possible by strong community involvement and improved nursery management, including new measures to protect young trees from termite and goat damage.

Once fully grown, these trees will transform arid land into fertile land, provide local villages with the firewood they need, and offer a sustainable food supply through the harvesting of fruit trees. The long-term impact reaches far beyond the planting stage – helping to improve soil quality, reduce erosion, and support local livelihoods.

By involving schools and youth groups, the project also fosters environmental awareness and community pride. The Likoma Reforestation Project is a key part of our broader conservation strategy, contributing to a greener, more resilient island for generations to come.
