Deforestation and poverty are devastating global problems which can't be solved in isolation. Desperate to feed their families, poor farmers are driven to cut down trees for immediate survival despite the horrible disasters that result: farms become wasteland, springs dry up, flooding and landslides ensue, and the land is utterly depleted for future generations. Through Floresta, farmers are given a vision for a better future. They receive mentoring and loans to start new businesses and the tools to restore their land. Treating root causes with holistic solutions, Floresta transforms communities, replacing destruction and despair with renewal and rewal hope.
