Environment & Climate Action
Support locally led restoration and conservation with traceable field evidence, community stewardship and long-term monitoring rather than one-off planting claims.
Restoration lifecycle
Seed sources, nurseries, planting/restoration, survival, replanting, established ecosystems, long-term measurement and verification where applicable.
Green Mission Project
Trees, forests, agroforestry and landscape restoration are delivered as the terrestrial pathway within Seed to Carbon.
Guardians of the Mangroves
Mangroves, seagrasses, coral reefs and coastal habitats are addressed through the marine restoration pathway.
Local ownership
CBOs and local stakeholders can be linked to sites, activities, livelihoods, benefits and monitoring responsibilities.
Claims follow review
GPS, field records, evidence, monitoring and approved reports remain distinct from independent verification or carbon issuance.
Funding should strengthen local ownership—not replace it.
MDF’s intended model connects community-defined needs, approved project design, responsible local participation, controlled funding, measurable KPIs, evidence, reporting and appropriate verification. Donors and impact-focused partners support the pathway; communities remain central to the outcome.
Local impact grows through long-term relationships.
