Treecolor Alliance
France
NonprofitTreecolor Alliance was born of the conviction that tackling the climate crisis and social inequalities means acting on 2 facets of the same challenge. By helping people to restore their lost forests, we complete a virtuous circle: nature is reborn, offering sustainable solutions to poverty and food insecurity, while creating economic prospects rooted in respect for the environment and local traditions. 1. Reforestation and ecosystem restoration 2. Creating green jobs and new sources of income 3. Building resilience to the climate crisis
Project story
Treecolor Alliance’s project in Panama was born from a meeting with the Emberá-Wounaan community of Ipeti/Piriati and a shared conviction: people and nature cannot thrive separately. Here, the forest is not only a source of food, medicine and livelihoods, but also an essential part of cultural identity and ancestral knowledge.
The community’s lands have been deeply affected by deforestation and decades of environmental degradation. On these disadvantaged and marginalised territories, restoring nature also means restoring opportunities, knowledge and hope.
Since 2023, Treecolor Alliance has been working alongside the Emberá women’s artisan association AMARIE, supporting a locally-led restoration and agroforestry programme. Together, we have already restored nearly 10 hectares, planting thousands of native, medicinal and agroforestry species such as cocobolo, almendro, guayacán, cacao and achiote, while developing new crops and restoring biodiversity.The future of this project depends on our ability to take this success further, and there is so much more we can achieve together.
Building on what has already been accomplished, we aim to restore 20 additional hectares in Ipeti and expand agroforestry to create sustainable sources of income for local families. Your support can help turn degraded land into thriving forests, productive crops and new opportunities for the community.
Together, we can help Ipeti grow from a successful restoration project into a lasting model of community-led regeneration.
