Because Go Global isn’t just about planting, it’s about ensuring trees survive and thrive. Many projects report the number of trees planted, but not how many survive. In dryland forestry, survival requires continuous care, monitoring, and replanting.
Go Global covers the full forestry lifecycle: planting, nurturing, harvesting, transport, drying, and marketing timber. This ensures the trees have real financial and social returns — not just symbolic value.
Yes. Go Global includes planned replanting at harvest. This guarantees continuity and avoids the “one-off plantation” problem common to cheaper projects.
Because we grow construction-grade timber such as Melia volkensii (Mukau). Higher initial costs deliver a premium product that fetches high market prices and competes in real timber markets.
Actually, it’s more cost-effective in the long run. By partnering with smallholder farmers, we avoid the cost of buying land, while also ensuring scalability, income for communities, and shared responsibility.
Because drylands are the frontier of afforestation. While it costs more than planting in fertile zones, the returns are greater: restoring degraded land, unlocking new timber frontiers, and building climate resilience where it matters most.
Losses are normal in dryland forestry. Go Global budgets for gapping (replacement planting) so forests maintain density and productivity. Ignoring this, as many projects do, leads to failure.
No, it adds efficiency. Education and microfinance are outsourced to specialized partners, ensuring professional delivery while Go Global focuses on forestry. This maximizes the impact of every euro spent.
Go Global is carbon-ready. Even without immediate carbon finance, the project complies with legal and technical requirements for carbon sequestration. This makes it future-proof for integration into carbon markets without retrofitting.
Go Global provides broad social and environmental co-benefits:
Farmers gain income, training, and access to microfinance.
Children and communities benefit from education support.
The environment benefits from restored degraded land, biodiversity gains, and carbon sequestration.
These combined impacts make Go Global a holistic, transformative model, not an “expensive tree planting scheme.”
Summary
What some may see as “expensive” is actually the true cost of doing forestry properly. Go Global ensures survival, sustainability, premium timber, farmer empowerment, carbon-readiness, and long-term community impact.
