FOR THE LOVE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

In cooperation with Treedom, a THERMOTEX wood of 100 acacia trees is being planted in Madagascar. Each tree has its own online page, is geo-localised, regularly photographed and lovingly maintained by local smallholder farmers.

The THERMOTEX wood is growing in Madagascar
Did you know that 90% of Madagascar's forests have been cleared? In 40 years, the island could be forest-free. But with our THERMOTEX forest, at least 100 acacias make a stand against a forest-free Madagascar!

Local Uses
How the acacia wood supports local smallholder farmers:
