EarthLungs Reforestation Foundation is a community of forest-focused Not for Profit Organization that leverages on communities living around and adjacent to public gazetted forests under the management of KFS (Kenya Forest Service). We partner with Community Forest Associations (CFAs) desirous to rehabilitate, reforest, conserve, and restore degraded forest land to healthy indigenous forest ecosystems.

Trees are the lungs of the earth.

Without trees on earth, human beings would not survive but without human beings, trees would still survive on earth abundantly. Trees absorb almost all the carbon dioxide emitted by man and man's activities including but not limited to manufacturing, agriculture and transportation. Global warming is directly attributed to the loss of forest cover and increased emissions. Protecting the lungs of the earth (trees) is the only sure way of reversing global warming and defending the world's biodiversity.

Objectives

• To encourage and promote growing of trees as a lifestyle.
• To raise awareness on the dangers of deforestation.
• To mobilize resources for the expansion of woodland.
• To monitor and support communal afforestation efforts.

Our Aim

To adopt degraded public forest areas under the jurisdiction of Kenya Forest Service and working with Forest Adjacent Communities (FAC) & Indigenous People (IP), facilitate, supervise and manage the planting, growing, protecting and conserving of 500 million indigenous trees and 50 million agroforestry trees by 2032 using our Decent Wages for Decent Lives for Decent Forests model.

Vision

A world where forest ecosystems are protected through sustainable co-existence with Indigenous People (IP) and Forest Adjacent Communities (FAC).
