Following recent heavy rainfall in Nhamacoa, we were excited to take full advantage of the conditions and plant 1,500 native tree seedlings from our nursery into a previously barren field. The rain came at the perfect time, giving our young trees the best possible start.
In even more encouraging news, we’ve received a generous donation that will allow us to grow and plant another 1,700 trees. This support is deeply appreciated and brings us closer to our reforestation goals.
At Trees4Moz, we prioritise growing a wide variety of indigenous tree species, as biodiversity is crucial for the health of the ecosystem—particularly for wildlife. Birds native to the miombo forest, for example, are highly specialised. They depend on the unique structure and species composition of miombo woodlands for food, nesting, and shelter.
When miombo forests are destroyed, these birds struggle to survive. Competing in other habitats against better-adapted species often leads to their decline. That’s why preserving and restoring miombo forests is vital for their continued survival.
Sadly, Mozambique’s beautiful miombo woodlands are being lost at an alarming rate due to unsustainable farming, illegal logging, and charcoal production. Our work is more urgent than ever. With your help, we are restoring these critical ecosystems, one tree at a time.
Thank you for standing with us.
