Solution

Cœur de Forêt acts 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 economic enhancement that preserves forests and promotes human development by refusing preconceived ideas and not hesitating to think outside the box to build solutions adapted to the reality of the issues. 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 conducts awareness campaigns among local populations to raise their awareness of the challenges of forest preservation, and develops fair trade channels for its international projects while promoting the French timber industry in short circuits. It is present in France, Bolivia, Indonesia and Madagascar.
