Celebrating meaningful change where it matters most
At ITF, everything we do is driven by a commitment to creating meaningful impact where it matters most. For over a century, a golden thread has run through our work – putting communities at the heart of restoration. We know that when we work hand in hand with local communities, supporting their vision for their landscapes, we see lasting change on the ground. Our 2024 Impact Report, which has just been published, reflects that commitment.
It highlights how our close partnerships with communities and supporters are making a tangible difference. The number of trees planted, the farmers increasing their yield and household income, and the local organisations strengthening their capacity all stand as a testament to the power of this collective effort of transforming landscapes and improving livelihoods.

In Africa, we work alongside those most vulnerable to climate change in ecologically sensitive areas. Partnering with grassroots organisations, we ensure lasting change through careful monitoring and ongoing support. By blending local knowledge with new technologies and technical expertise, we have achieved powerful results.
Women like Jane in Kitui, Kenya, are increasing their earnings through tree grafting. For Bwahinda in Uganda, kitchen gardens and trees are improving food security. In Saiwa in Kenya, wildlife, including antelope and primates, is returning. In arid areas like Marsabit in Kenya, water harvesting is boosting tree survival. Across all our projects, native seedlings are nurtured and planted to secure long-term benefits – capturing water, stabilising soil, and restoring ecosystems.
In the UK, our work spans rewilding initiatives, community orchards, urban tree planting, and community land buyouts.
We extend our deepest thanks to all our partners worldwide who make this work possible. Together, we have achieved incredible milestones in 2024. Looking ahead, we remain committed to supporting more communities in realising their visions and delivering meaningful, lasting impact.
