The
Story
OVERVIEW
This project is at the intersection of environmental restoration and poverty alleviation, thanks to the incredible practice of agroforestry. Thailand's landscapes have been degraded by unsustainable agriculture practices for decades, but the process of planting fruit-bearing species alongside native tree species can help restore soil, support watersheds, and create an economic livelihood for people and communities in need. This project will work with 1,139 farmers to plant more than 375,000 trees in the Nam Kohk, Hoi Lui, and Mae Na Wong watersheds, part of Thailand's "Golden Triangle." Support sustainable agroforestry when purchase from Revonomic.
​
IMPACT
The Thailand project focuses on land restoration and social impact. By planting diverse native species in landscapes damaged by erosion, soil quality will improve, and erosion will slow. Trees also protect watersheds, guiding the flow of freshwater along its route. The community impact of this project will be profound, with more than 1,000 smallholder farmers being able to create a new and sustainable source of income and nutrition for their families. Native biodiversity will have improved habitat.

EMPOWER LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Through our partners in Thailand, tree planting develops income opportunities for communities, in particular for refugee groups, by creating jobs in planting, maintenance, and forest conservation.
PROTECT BIODIVERSITY
Thailand is home to more than 10% of the world’s animals, including more than 285 species of mammal like the iconic sun bear. Of these, more than 15% of threatened or endangered in the wild.
STABILIZE CLIMATE
Forests are an essential part of our planet’s carbon and water cycles. A fully grown tree can release hundreds of liters of water in one day! Healthy trees absorb carbon dioxide and keep climate stable.
