Forest Month: Discovering the Forests of Martinique

Every year in March, Reforest’Action organizes a public awareness campaign—called “Forest Month”—to highlight the importance of forests for the climate and biodiversity, as well as for economic development and our daily lives!

With International Forest Day, observed every March 21 by the UN, this occasion aims to raise global awareness about the vital role of forests on Earth and in the future of humanity: “because we can all play a part; because major progress is achieved collectively, Reforest’Action ”calls on everyone to raise awareness and take concrete action."

 

“As a specialist in reforestation in France and around the world, Reforest’Action is a B Corp-certified social enterprise whose mission is to preserve and restore forests in France and around the world while raising public awareness.”.
Reforest’Action enables individuals and businesses to take concrete action to protect the environment through a unique approach.
On reforestaction.com, a one-of-a-kind web platform, businesses and the general public plant trees in France and around the world. They measure the social and environmental benefits of these efforts and can share them with others.
”Since its founding in 2010, Reforest’Action has planted more than 4 million trees in 19 countries, raised awareness among 1.7 million employees and corporate clients, and had a positive impact on the living conditions of more than 30,000 people around the world.”
Discover the magnificent forests of Martinique!
By clicking on the ONF link below, you’ll discover the importance, diversity, and extent of Martinique’s forests, which cover no less than 46,273 hectares of the territory!
There are two main types of forests open to the public, which are protected, managed, and maintained by the ONF. The northern forests around Mount Pelée and the Pitons du Carbet, which are home to remarkable biodiversity and are in the process of being designated as “Forests of Exceptional Value,” and the coastal forests that line nearly half of the coastline. These are perhaps the best known and most accessible, as they are located at major tourist sites such as Les Salines and the southern Atlantic coast; in fact, several hiking trails have been developed there in recent years.
The link also provides a map of the host sites and trails in public forests.
And what could be better during Lent than a walk through the woods along Martinique’s beautiful trails!
