Reforestation only lasts when the people who live on the land own it. In Karatu, we plant trees alongside farmers, not for them. Each household that receives seedlings also gets training in sustainable crop production and soil preservation, so the trees protect soil, shade crops and support family income. More than 800 households have been reached so far, and 61% of them are women, who are often the ones planting, tending and teaching others. From 2025 to 2026 we planted more than 5000 trees to restore degraded land, protect soil and build climate-resilient livelihoods.

Lasting change in animal welfare comes from many hands. Each of the 11 partnerships secured so far adds expertise, credibility and reach, from universities offering scientific rigour to authorities and NGOs providing the means to act. Together they have brought animal welfare awareness to more than 500 people, building a community that understands that the health of animals, people and the environment is connected.

Behind every campaign are people who show up. This moment captures the recognition of contributors who help carry animal welfare awareness into communities, with local and international participants working side by side. Events like this build commitment, strengthen partnerships and keep volunteers returning.

Field results start in the meeting room. Regular joint planning sessions bring together teams, local government officers and partners to align activities, review progress and settle responsibilities. That coordination helps activities run through official local structures, which strengthens government ownership and keeps programs sustainable.  

Conservation is not only about animals and land. It is about people. A protected area with no local support is fragile, however strong its laws. When communities share in the benefits of healthy ecosystems, through livelihoods, clean water, fertile soil and a voice in decisions, protection lasts. I believe the best conservation is built with communities, not imposed on them.
