Cartier for Nature supports the Al Shouf Cedar Society to assist local farmers to reduce the pressures on this fragile ecosystem and counter the risk of devastating forest fires. A key pillar of its work is to promote sustainable agricultural practices that help save water, restore soils, and maintain the productivity of the landscape. Its team is now also developing a line of environmentally friendly premium agricultural products to help participating farmers grow their incomes. At the same time, it also engages local communities in the strategic thinning of forest areas and building of firebreaks near villages to help halt the spread of forest fires. Any wood that is cut is shredded and used as compost or turned into eco-friendly heating briquettes.
