Trees for Tribals, Viluppuram, Tamil Nadu, India
plant-for-the-planet.org
This project includes the plantation of 85000 trees for Irula Tribes in Tamil Nadu, India. The Irular tribes, also known as Adivasis or Indigenous people, are some of the earliest settlers in the Indian subcontinent and have made contributions to its culture, history, heritage, and ecosystem. Unfortunately, they have become refugees in their own land and victims of dominant cultural hegemony, human rights violations and development displacement. The Irular tribes are semi-nomadic and settled as a landless and voiceless community in this region. Irulas are an aboriginal ethnic group and they mainly inhabit the parts of Nilgiri mountains and coastal plains in southern India. They are classified as a 'Scheduled tribe', and their population is estimated to being about 189,621 in Tamil Nadu. Traditionally, the main occupation of the Irulars has been snake and rat-catching. They also work as labourers in the fields of landlords during the sowing and harvesting seasons or in the rice mills. However, after the implementation of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, capturing snakes was prohibited in India. This has led the Irular families to permanently perform labour works, where they kept as bonded labour for long periods with inconsistent pay and low access to sufficient food. Even though the irular's population is high in the identified project area, they are considered backward in terms of economic and educational advancement. The plantation project aims at engaging the irular communities in implementing on-ground activities which in turn will create job opportunities for the locals. An additional source of income will support their vulnerable economy while also bringing multi-faceted ecological advantages like enhanced carbon sequestration potential, improved greenery and wildlife habitats, increased food, fuel, fruits and flowers, and improved groundwater level.

Sustainable Timber and Household Woodlots
plant-for-the-planet.org
UPDATE: As of December 5th, 2022, this project is part of "Bulindi Chimpanzee and Community Project (BCCP)" - This project aims to significantly reduce threats via restoration and conservation of chimpanzee habitat in key areas in the Hoima corridor, with development of long-term alternatives to deforestation. It directly addresses root causes: need for alternative livelihoods and wood for cooking and timber. Fast-growing tree seedlings for household woodlots. This will offer an alternative source of timber for future wood requirements. This planting programme complements our other project activities such as daily long-term monitoring of chimpanzees within the corridor. The Bulindi Chimpanzee & Community Project is tax deductible in Uganda!

Protecting Indonesia's Outstanding Mangroves, Coastal Forests and Marine Biodiversity through the Power of Surf Protected Areas
plant-for-the-planet.org
This project is protecting and restoring outstanding mangroves, coastal forests and marine biodiversity through the power of surf protected areas. Across Indonesia and the world, surf breaks overlap with high carbon and high biodiversity ecosystems including mangroves, coastal forests, seagrass beds and coral reefs. Communities where local people surf have powerful connection to the ocean and surrounding ecosystems. They depend on these areas, love them, know they are threatened and are motivated to protect them. This project will restore mangroves in the globally outstanding surfing island of Nias, Sumatra, Indonesia and work with communities in Supiori Island, Papua, Indonesia to establish and implement legally enforceable regulations to protect mangroves, coastal forests, coral reefs, and surf breaks. This project will also support communities to benefit from conservation and surfing through diversified livelihood support. We will also work to establish sustainable financing to protect these ecosystems long-term, as traveling surfers have expressed a strong willingness to support conservation financially. This project marks a critically important milestone for mangrove and coastal forest conservation as there are thousands of surf breaks globally that overlap with these high carbon and high biodiversity ecosystems. The establishment of a network of surf protected areas in Indonesia and globally is a sustainable, community driven approach to protect and restore millions of trees.
