Every day, all over the developing world, thousands of acres of vital forestland are destroyed. It is not sustainable.
In Indonesia, our partner Pekerti, who make our popular Ichthus brooch, is using capital from Traidcraft's Carbon Offset Fund to plant and conserve the trees used to produce their handicrafts. Pekerti began planting in 2008 and will populate a 12,000 m2 area with over 3,000 trees. Furthermore, their staff will manage and maintain the trees, preserving their valuable resources and helping to increase awareness of environmental issues in their region.
A gift of £8 will help us reach out to more of our partners and help them take practical, simple steps to preserve their resources for generations to come.

Why should I give Gifts for Life?
Gifts for Life are unique presents that will bring joy to a friend or relative - and make a lasting difference to the lives of producers in developing countries struggling to make a living.
None of these gifts are a quick-fix for poverty. Traidcraft's charity, Traidcraft Exchange believes in lifelong solutions brought about through better trade. Every gift in this catalogue will help a small-scale producer to make the most of their wonderful skills by enabling them to sell their produce to local and overseas consumers for a fair price.
