Germany & PROJECT TOGO · News

A project is not a promise. It is a development.

Those who provide long-term support should not only know where a contribution has gone. They should also be able to see what grows out of it over time.

Why we report

Responsibility does not end with the bank transfer.

A financial contribution makes a measure possible. Whether this leads to something in the long term is only revealed later.

Whether areas are being maintained, water sources are functioning, young trees are taking root, habitats are returning, or people are taking on new tasks: our reports capture this development – not just the finished results, but also the work in between.

We don't just show what has been started. We stay with it and report on how it progresses.

Why progress remains visible

A project does not become visible through a single measure. Regular updates document what is being created on-site – from the maintenance of the areas to the people who take on responsibility.

More than CO₂ compensation: The power of social and ecological co-benefits

True climate action is not only measured in tonnes of CO₂. With our combined project "Germany & Togo Plus", we build a bridge between local nature conservation (such as protecting threatened heathlands and mixed forests) and social development in West Africa (efficient cookstoves, educational initiatives). Find out in our latest annual review how companies are driving measurable co-benefits through their commitment.

Thinking outside the box: How local forestry partners from the Ahr Valley to Thuringia are breaking new ground

Farewell to rigid structures, hello to direct agility: Since natureOffice began coordinating regional forest ecology projects even more closely and directly with local forestry offices – such as in the Ahr Valley, the Hunsrück, or Thuringia – funds have been flowing precisely to where they are urgently needed. Whether custom solutions like boreholes for irrigation or tree planting after extreme weather events: the help reaches regional foresters directly.

Two become one: Why Germany Plus & Togo Plus became the "Germany & Togo Plus" combined project

Simpler, more effective, more transparent: to make carbon offsetting and voluntary regional commitment even more seamless, we have officially merged our two proven pillars into a joint combination project. Since then, with every certificate, customers automatically support both the protection of our local forests and social and ecological future projects in Togo in a bundled approach.

A breath of fresh air for local forests: Project trip to the Thuringian Forest (Grabfeld)

Up close and personal with where climate protection takes root: in spring 2026, our teams once again headed to the Thuringian Forest to inspect the reforestation and maintenance measures in the municipality of Grabfeld. Thanks to the commitment of our customers in the "Germany & Togo Plus" combined project, young, site-appropriate tree species were planted and vital inner forest edges were created here to make the forest more resilient to climate change.

What arises from continuous support

Since 2012, natureOffice has been supporting forest ecology and nature conservation measures in Germany. This overview shows the regions involved, the work on the sites, and why forest development takes time.

Why a well does not end with its construction

Access to water is created through infrastructure. It only becomes sustainable through maintenance, responsibilities, and the people who support its operation.

Fish farming: learning, adapting, carrying on working

A project area that connects local supply, knowledge and work – and where experiences are consistently incorporated into the next steps.

€542,000

have been channelled into German forest ecology and nature conservation projects since 2012.

The sum describes financial contributions to German projects. It is not a CO₂ impact metric. Project partners, measures, and the periods taken into account are transparently named in the respective reports.

Germany & PROJECT TOGO

Different tasks. The same attitude.

The projects are not the same – nor are they meant to be. They are linked by long-term support and the aspiration to make development visible.

Proximity makes responsibility visible.

In the Black Forest, the Thuringian Forest, and the Ahr Valley, we support concrete forest ecology and nature conservation measures.

PROJECT TOGO

Development requires more than a single measure.

Forest, water, education, jobs and local value creation are interlinked because long-term protection requires a sustainable environment.

For context

Reports show development. They do not replace an audit.

The articles document the respective status of the project work at the time of their publication. Depending on the article, they are based on information from our project partners, our own observations, visual material, inventories or other technical documentation.

Not every post serves the same purpose. That is why we indicate whether it is a project report, a documentation, an update, or an on-site insight.
