The above number corresponds to the amount of trees that would need to be planted in the greenlimba rainforest to sequester the equivalent amount of CO2 over their average lifetime.

How your donation works
How your donation works
The greenlimba Förderverein Deutschland is a non-profit association founded in 2023, which voluntarily supports the reforestation of a new rainforest and the protection of still existing -enclaves in Sierra Leone / West Africa. While the German “greenlimba GmbH” sells CO2 bonding certificates to business customers for the same reason, the association collects donations from private individuals. This has a great advantage especially for you donors: you save money. Our association does not have to collect VAT from you and you can also deduct your donations from your taxes. If you donate to an important cause, then the German tax authorities do not have to make money from it.
Incidentally, the project is also implemented in West Africa through a non-profit NGO, the “greenlimba Foundation Sierra Leone (GLFSL)”. Several institutions make sure that this intercontinental climate protection project is done properly and that your donations are used in accordance with the statutes: The German board of directors is regularly on site, the German tax office regularly checks the books and the German embassy in Freetown confirms the implementation as well as the university in Makeni.
The goal, in a nutshell, is: Protect the climate, create jobs. To achieve this goal, GLFSL currently employs just under a dozen local staff to work in the on-site nurseries, plant the young trees in the field, guard the protected forest areas, and provide environmental education. In this way, new jobs are created in one of the poorest countries in the world, which in turn also combats the causes of flight. And last but not least, new habitat is created from year to year for endangered wildlife species such as monkeys, forest elephants, reptiles, birds and insects. Biodiversity is the third supporting cornerstone of the entire project, alongside climate protection and job creation.
