Planting for tomorrow: our commitment to a Tree for You

At ATC Routes du Monde, our commitment to responsible tourism has led us to establish a significant partnership with A Tree for You, an organization dedicated to reforestation and agroforestry around the world. Together, we are working to restore degraded ecosystems and support local communities, notably in Togo's Zio River valley.

Who is A Tree for You?
Planting today for a sustainable futureA Tree for You is an organization that facilitates tree planting by connecting donors with reforestation projects around the world. Their mission is to promote human development in harmony with the environment, implementing initiatives that benefit both the planet and local populations.
Their actions
They focus on several areas
Our joint project in Togo
A reforestation project for a sustainable futureThe Zio river valley in Togo is a region facing alarming land degradation, due to intense demographic pressure, the abandonment of traditional farming practices, intensive agriculture and deforestation. These factors have led to soil depletion, loss of biodiversity and difficulties for local communities to meet their natural resource needs.
In collaboration with A Tree for You, we are supporting an agroforestry and forestry project aimed at:
- Planting thousands of trees: fertility, forestry and fruit species to enrich soils and diversify crops.
- Promote sustainable agricultural practices: integrate agroforestry techniques to improve yields without resorting to chemical inputs.
- Provide firewood and timber: reduce pressure on natural forests by offering alternative sources to local communities.
But how important are trees?
Trees play an essential role in preserving our planet...Our commitment to a sustainable future
As a player in the tourism sector, we recognize our responsibility to preserve the environment. Tourism accounts for 11% of greenhouse gas emissions in France, with transport being the leading source of emissions in this sector. By supporting reforestation projects like the one in the Zio River Valley, we are helping to absorb some of these emissions and promote more sustainable tourism.
We invite our travelers and partners to join us in this approach, so that every trip becomes an opportunity to contribute positively to the planet and local communities.
