Honduras

One Dollar. One Tree.

Honduras is a land of coastal plains and mountains aplenty with central highlands and Pacific lowlands. Planting trees in Honduras will help preserve this beautiful landscape. Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Improve the livelihoods of growing communities through agroforestry
  • Restore watersheds and promote clean water
  • Stabilize the soil and control erosion
  • Honduras is still dotted with hotspots of biodiversity, providing homes for macaws, jaguars, and giant iguanas. Within the forestlands of the mountainous Nombre de Dios region, deforestation has put these hotspots under threat. Honduras’ dry corridor region is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. But now we have an opportunity to restore some of the areas that have been damaged to help the forests thrive again!
  • This project focuses on repairing critical ecosystems, improving the quality and availability of water, increasing rural farmer productivity, diversifying farmer incomes, and establishing long-term ecosystem restoration activities with the community, including the creation of community nurseries and training community members on sustainable forest nursery management.
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you reports on our Honduras project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
  • To maximize the impact of your donation, our partners will determine the most appropriate native species of tree to plant, depending on the time of year. This project primarily focuses on planting exotic hardwoods in order to restore forests damaged by illegal logging, and shade-dependent cacao plants, which will diversify income for local farmers. Species include mahogany, cedar, guanandi, bully tree, pouteria, sweetgum, evergreen tree, chewstick, velvet tamarind, and allspice.

Why Plant in Honduras?

Stabilize the Climate

Stabilize climate

Forests are an essential part of our planet’s carbon and water cycles. A fully grown tree can release hundreds of liters of water in one day! Reforestation will improve the availability and quality of water, and help stabilize the climate of the dry corridor.

Protect biodiversity

Honduras is considered the 5th biodiversity hotspot in the world, with over 1,200 known species of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles. Healthy forests provide habitat for rare and endangered species.
