Ethiopia is a large country in East Africa, twice the size of France. Over the past 40 years, forest cover has rapidly reduced. Without trees to keep the soil fertile, the land is losing its fertility. This is making it harder for people to grow enough food.As a result, almost a third of the population is living inextreme poverty.
Tree Aid has been working with communities since 1991, to tackle hunger, poverty, and the effects of the climate crisis.

Tree Aid is working with communities across Africa
to grow trees and restore land in support of the Great
Green Wall movement. This African-led initiative envisages
an 8,000km mosaic of restored land across the Sahel
that will transform the lives of millions living on
the frontline of the climate crisis.
