IMPACT CYCLE
NURSERY
HUBS
Our innovative model drives sustainable forest restoration that goes far beyond the carbon market. By eliminating the barriers that typically make tree planting inaccessible to rural farmers, we incentivize active community participation in environmental rejuvenation. This approach is not just about carbon offsets; it is a comprehensive ecosystem designed to meet both environmental and communal needs through sustainable tree farming and efficient charcoal production. By partnering with local communities and ensuring profit-sharing, we simultaneously address critical issues—farmer poverty, deforestation, and climate change. This integrated model creates a mutually beneficial system, where environmental sustainability and community prosperity work hand in hand, ensuring long-term impact and success for all stakeholders involved.
RESTORATION
Our restoration is focused on the creation of thriving, biodiverse, and indigenous tropical forests, not simply monocultures aimed at carbon capture. While our restoration sites will sequester millions of tons of carbon, their value extends far beyond this. These forests are meticulously designed to stabilize local microclimates, restore biodiversity, and generate hundreds of jobs for local communities. As pioneers in carbon sequestration, we are setting a new standard by replicating the complexity and resilience of historical tropical ecosystems, ensuring both environmental and community-wide benefits.

LEADING
MONITORING
Through our proprietary monitoring system and dedicated team, we track the precise location of each tree among the millions we plant. This level of visibility enables us to conduct regular, on-site evaluations, collaborating directly with farmers to provide ongoing support and ensure adherence to sustainable practices. Our data-driven approach not only allows us to accurately measure environmental impact and verify carbon sequestration but also ensures the long-term success and integrity of our projects.
CARBON
OFFSETS
The global carbon market is facing unprecedented demand, with a shortage of high-quality carbon credits. At Kijani Forestry, we are uniquely positioned to meet this challenge. Our scalable model allows us to rapidly expand our tree planting efforts, addressing the urgent need for verified carbon credits. By leveraging our expertise and infrastructure, we are able to quickly ramp up operations, ensuring that we contribute meaningfully to closing the gap between supply and demand. Each carbon credit we generate represents not only a step toward offsetting emissions but also a broader commitment to ecological restoration and sustainable development.
IMPACT
In just a few years, Kijani Forestry has emerged as one of the largest employers in Northern Uganda, built the country’s most extensive farmer network, and established itself as a global leader in reforestation. But this is only the beginning. Through direct partnerships with the communities we serve, we are scaling our efforts to unprecedented levels—planting millions of trees while empowering local farmers and revitalizing ecosystems. Our model is not only restoring forests but also transforming rural economies and driving sustainable development. As we continue to expand, Kijani is setting a new global standard for environmental and social impact, ensuring a greener, more equitable future for both people and the planet.
