Preservation of Mt. Elgon Ecosystem

Preservation of Mt. Elgon Ecosystem, Uganda

70.3  Puntuación VQS 

Our project works with over 54k local farmers in the Mount Elgon region to grow trees and build sustainable livelihoods. Uganda has lost at least 12% of its tree cover since 2001, threatening both the environment and local communities. By focusing on forest restoration and reducing the need for logging and unsustainable agriculture, we work to reverse this trend and protect the land for future generations.
