The global COVID-19 pandemic has only strengthened our resolve to care for people and the planet.

Our team remains committed to poverty alleviation and forest restoration.

We are in daily contact with key international leaders and planting operations are moving forward as planned at this point. To date, the infection rates have been quite low within our project regions and have not yet impacted our remote teams. However, we are not naive and we do expect infection rates to increase, possibly dramatically, and our teams are being trained in social distancing and hygiene practices to help keep them safe.

Reports from the field include messages of how amazed and pleased the workers are with the continuance of their jobs, while so many around them have lost their income source. Trees are still being planted by the millions and hundreds of employees are able to care for their family members.
