MB Energy has therefore made reforestation a key focus of its voluntary environmental protection measures. Since 2020, we have been working with Tree-Nation to support ongoing reforestation projects worldwide and, amongst other things, to voluntarily offset the flight emissions generated by our staff.
To date, we have been providing significant support to two projects: Firstly, ‘ ’ CommuniTree in Nicaragua, where smallholder farming families are brought together to reforest and maintain unused parts of their land and receive payments for ecosystem services in return. Through improved land management and a more sustainable use of forest resources, the project increases the forest cover in the nearby catchment area and improves the quality of life for Nicaraguan farmers.
We also support Eden Projects in Madagascar. As part of the project, which began in 2007, over 16 million mangrove and dry deciduous trees have been successfully planted in a remote area in north-western Madagascar. Eden Projects also employs mainly local residents, providing them with an income in return for making their land available for mangrove cultivation and, once the trees are large enough, planting them out in the project areas.
To date, 33,712 new plantings have been funded by MB Energy, resulting in the reforestation of just under ten hectares of woodland. All activities can be followed on our Tree-Nation profile .
