Forest preservation and the fight against deforestation

Cœur de Forêt works on a daily basis to give everyone the means to take action to preserve forests. Convinced that an alternative to deforestation is possible, the association accompanies populations towards an economic valorization that preserves forests and favors human development by refusing preconceived ideas and not hesitating to get off the beaten track to build solutions adapted to the reality of the issues at stake. Its priority is to take concrete action on the ground to collectively create the momentum for positive change.

Cœur de forêt leads reforestation campaigns and supports farmers towards agroforestry and forest owners towards sustainable management of their forests. The association also runs awareness-raising campaigns for local populations to raise their awareness of forest preservation issues, and develops fair trade channels for its international projects, while promoting the French timber industry through short circuits. It is present in France, Bolivia, Indonesia and Madagascar.
