The Forest
The diversity of the landscape is one of the features that make this country special. Located in
West-Central Africa, Cameroon has a 400 Km coastline along the Atlantic Ocean: as we move
further inland, the coastal plain breaks up into various plateaus, often covered by equatorial
rainforests. Cameroon has no shortage of mountains: Mount Cameroon (4,095 meters) is one
of the highest summits in Africa.
Treedom started its adventure right in Cameroon in 2010, by developing projects aimed at
planting Cocoa trees, thus improving food safety for the rural population, increasing the local
agricultural resources and offering additional income opportunities.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
