Restoration Projects
Philanthropic Projects
Projects funded primarily through donations and grants
Chimanimani Landscape Restoration Project
The Chimanimani Landscape Restoration Project is transforming 206,000 hectares in Mozambique's biodiverse buffer zone through community-driven restoration. Working with 22 communities, Eden facilitates the protection of 60,000 hectares of healthy forest while actively restoring 95,000 hectares of degraded land. This comprehensive 15+ year initiative balances ecosystem health with sustainable livelihoods, safeguarding endemic species and empowering local communities.
Cinturón Verde Restoration Project
The Cinturón Verde Restoration Project spans 96,500 hectares surrounding Tegucigalpa, restoring vital forests that provide water for over one million urban residents. By connecting five protected areas through biological corridors, this initiative safeguards cloud forests, pine-oak forests, and broadleaf ecosystems while strengthening community resilience against climate impacts in Honduras' increasingly vulnerable dry corridor.
Lamu County Mangrove Restoration Initiative
Along Kenya's northern coast, our Lamu County initiative is revitalizing the country's largest continuous mangrove ecosystem across 154,000+ hectares. By partnering with coastal communities who have maintained traditional relationships with these forests for over 700 years, we're fostering climate resilience, protecting critical wildlife habitat, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for more than 126,200 people in the region.
Mau Forest Complex Restoration Project
The Mau Forest Complex Restoration Project works with local communities and government partners to restore and protect Kenya's largest Afromontane forest ecosystem—a critical water tower sustaining 13 rivers, millions of people, and the iconic Mara-Serengeti wildlife. By coordinating existing restoration efforts and implementing advanced techniques, we're fostering landscape connectivity while supporting sustainable community livelihoods.
Sunkoshi Basin Restoration Project
In Nepal's Midhills region, the Sunkoshi Basin Restoration Project spans 257,400 hectares, strengthening community-managed forests that have shown impressive recovery. Working with over 1,100 Community Forest User Groups, we're enhancing biodiversity, improving disaster resilience, and supporting sustainable livelihoods while building on Nepal's internationally recognized model of forest governance.
