newTree helps village families and associations to protect sites of critical biodiversity by enabling the growth of mixed local forests.

Our project provides the materials necessary for the protection of the natural vegetation. Additionally, we participate with local populations by conducting trainings on the sustainable use of the forests. In addition, newTree helps to create income-generating activities (apiculture, nurseries, gardening, etc.) and promotes activities that reduce the pressure on natural resources (improved cooking stoves, and the use of living-hedges rather than timber for fencing). In the medium-term newTree will create an agro-environmental training centre for farmers and students including a natural forest of about 8 hectares in Gampéla a village next to Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso.
