They have a tree-planting scheme to replenish stocks of all Albesia wood used in its handicrafts. This is also part of the organisation`s efforts to promote reforestation to protect the livlihoods of indiginous people and to ensure they don`t become landless.

Around 20 artisans and their families are supported by production of these products.
