This kapok tree had sown itself directly in front of our headquarters in Kamakwie, which was a very bad location considering its later diameter of several meters … Without further ado, Marion dug it out and buried it again in our new rainforest. It will now do a lot of good there for many hundreds […]

These wonderful rainforest giants called Kuthiebie (Antiaris Toxicaria) grow in our protected forest in Kadingbilin. In Europe, one would assume that the tree was at least 100 years old – in West Africa, thanks to the tropical climate, it didn’t even need 60 years to reach this impressive size!

In the first year, sesame seeds are planted under the very young trees as

We are back in Sierra Leone! Marion and Anthony are barely recognizable, so large have the trees in Kakissy grown in just one year. Our new rainforest is growing magnificently! And the new plantings this year are also impressive. Our team has put well over 6,000 seedlings in the ground over the past three months.

Success stories are always a snapshot in time. But we enjoy this moment. The „Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitungsverlag“ reports today on our reforestation program in West Africa on almost a whole page. Now it’s time to set the stage for future project success: „Any revenue generated between now and Christmas can be used for the 2024 planting

There is no reason for that, we thought, and in the past weeks we founded the „greenlimba Förderverein Deutschland“, which now puts an end to this unequal treatment. The association is recognized by the tax office as a non-profit organization and therefore does not
