Environment protection
The northern Ethiopian plateau is at risk of desertification. For this reason, we choose it for our carbon offsetting project.
In the EthioTrees project, CO2 is compensated by planting native tree and shrub species, mostly through soil protection. 
How do we help in fighting desertification?
Planting
Watersheds
Terraces
Regeneration of humus in the soil, through the reforestation activities.
Maintenaining soil’s capacity to retain water through the creation of basins to feed the underlying soils.
Building terraces and trenches to reduce erosion and desertification.

The social impact
An important part of this project is dedicated to training the local population to protect the soil, structuring a maintenance activity that protects it from grazing and breeding. These lands are entrusted to “landless farmers”, those who are not landowners.
With EthioTrees, Davines creates opportunities for the involvement of women to carry out reforestation related activities, in order to educate on gender equality.
Community implications
Part of the funding is also used for the enlargement of rainwater catchment areas for the village’s supply water, thus avoiding the need for the local population to walk more than 5 km for their daily supply of drinking water.
We provide training in beekeeping, incense collection and extraction, activities from which it's possibile to derive related craft products. By increasing the know-how, effectiveness and quality of the products, trade increases and so does the income of these village communities.
