Community Forest Sowing
Not For Sale’s planet work in Guinea supports the Community Forest Sowing project through Tree-Nation. Guinea is the world’s top bauxite exporter, and the mining that makes this possible has caused massive forest clearance, water pollution, and farmland loss.

Why This Matters
Once land is expropriated and water sources are contaminated by bauxite mining, communities have little option beyond precarious mine labor, often without contracts, making them highly exploitable. Community forest sowing restores what mining has taken and provides an alternative economic base. The connection between mining-driven ecocide and forced labor is as direct in Guinea as it is in the DRC.
