Over the next 10 years, the arboRise foundation plans to reforest a further 500 hectares per year, again with the help of 500 families from local communities.
ArboRise proceeds in three-year cycles: for each cycle, 25 interested villages are identified in a sub-prefecture, and 20 families per village (10 seed families and 10 land families) are engaged in each village. At the end of the cycle, arboRise moves to the neighboring sub-prefecture and proceeds in the same way.
The first reforestation cycle, in the Linko sub-prefecture, will end in 2024, followed in 2025 by the start of the second three-year cycle in the Damaro sub-prefecture.
