BACKGROUND: With an average of 1.7 billion hectares of treeless land across the planet where trees could be planted, ecological restoration is one of the top climate-change solutions and Sustinere Global is working to plant 4 billion trees by 2030 to combat climate change and loss of biodiversity. PROJECT: Sustinere and its partners' reforestation project is in the Choco, Colombia, one of the world's most biodiverse areas, with more than 8,000 species of plants and 600 species of birds. In the 2000s, the Choco suffered 60% of the deforestation in Colombia, due to mining and logging. In addition to environmental and biodiversity degradation, the Choco faces unique economic challenges as 85% live below the poverty line, with a 32% illiteracy rate, and only 38% of teenagers going to high school. Women and girls are particularly affected, as 40% of households are single mothers. The project will restore 350 hectares of forest that will benefit 100 families with fruit trees and medicine plants. The forest will absorb 15,000 tons of carbon, and we will create a group of 50 women entrepreneurs.VOLUNTEER'S ROLE: The aim of the Climate Finance Researcher is to expand our pipeline of project finance sources from corporate investors, donors and others.
