Programme Initiators & Scientific Partners:<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>


At the origin of Forest Commons is Eric Verrecchia (Professor of Biogeochemistry at the University of Lausanne) who first discovered that oxalogenous trees can store carbon in the soil, in the form of calcium rock, for tens of thousands of years and whose laboratory was involved in the CO2SolStock program, coordinated by the Greenloop firm that investigated the natural pathways of CO2 bio-sequestration.

The founders of Forest Commons, alongside Professor Verrechia, were accordingly inspired to create practical projects using oxalogenous trees to link reforestation and biomimicry, and so our programme was born in 2010 between Paris, Brussels and Lausanne.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Financial Donors<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>


Immediately upon launching, Forest Commons gained the confidence of two financial donors, the Jean Herv\u00e9<\/a> Company and the Yves Rocher Foundation<\/a>. And these relationships continue after 10 years!

Jean Herv\u00e9 was a pioneer of the organic food movement in the 1970s and his company specialises in the manufacture of organic fruit and nut products.

The Yves Rocher Foundation\u2019s “Plant for the planet” programme has supported our activities in Haiti and Mexico. The Foundation was founded in 2007 by Jacques Rocher and as of 2020 has enabled the planting of over 100 million trees worldwide.

Additionally, we have also received financing from the sustainable development and engineering company Inddigo<\/a> for the three-year project in India, as well as BioIngredients<\/a>, a family-run import company of organic foods.

Partners on-the-ground<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div>


Without the dedicated efforts, hard work and vision of our partners-on-the-ground, our programme would not exist. They are our anchors and our link with the field. We invite you to visit our Countries of Action pages to learn more about our invaluable implementing partners.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
