In Chi Phat, Cambodia, Wildlife Alliance and the community are working together to plant a million tree nursery in a region decimated by logging and slash-and-burn farming.
Devastated forestThe fragmentation of the forest disrupted one of the seven remaining elephant corridors in Southeast Asia. Without a response, the forests and wildlife that lived there had little chance of thriving.
Dramatic action was needed.
Local communities had previously eked out a living by small-scale logging or slash-and-burn farming. Even then, they could rarely put adequate food on the table, let alone consider new opportunities for their children.
When Wildlife Alliance invited them to join the cause to protect the forests and provide for their families—they signed up.
Families now had the chance to stop the illegal activities and get a job protecting the forests near where they

In 2010, the community planted 180,000 native tropical trees over more than 440 acres of destroyed land. 667,000 saplings have already been planted, putting the community well on the way to the target of over a million trees that will reconnect a vital elephant corridor.
The communities, already knowledgeable about local forests, raise saplings in a well-equipped nursery and then transplant them into the local forest. More than 80 community members, primarily women, are employed in the reforestation activities.
They watch over the tree for its entire lifespan—from the planting and nurturing of the seed to the protection of the vibrant forest.

By reconnecting habitat, preserving watersheds, and providing livelihoods, Chi Phat serves as a global leader in conservation and sustainable development.

I just subscribed to this website because it was on Care2.com that here I could become a part of a million tree nursery.
However I do not see the way to accomplish this.
On Care2.com there are petitions to sign for many of our current world issues as far as
conservation, etc., as well as articles for comments.
I am planting trees there in these various ways I just mentioned.
I would like to find out how I can participate here in a similiar way here.
Thank you.
