Part of your contributions will help fund the MBF's reforestation work. Pine seedlings are provided to local people (at no cost to them) to reforest important lands that surround the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve (MBBR). Much of this land's trees have been cut to make room for agriculture, or harvested to be used by the local population.

Pine seedlings grow quickly into trees in this region. The trees will provide sustainable wood-lots for the local people, which may reduce timber cutting in the MBBR.
