"The essence of life is here in the forest, in nature, in what we plant. This is the main purpose. Without nature, we don't survive. Without nature, we are nothing. Without water, without earth, without forest. We are living beings of her (nature). Otherwise, we are nothing."

Naiana Gomez - Association of Warrior Youth, Yorenka Tasorentsi Forest Garden project, Brazil

"We have benefited so much because we plant, and as a result, we are able to educate children; we benefit so much that some have even been able to buy land. Strife has reduced."

Lucy Kananu, project participant, Kenya
