Community Forest Sowing
GuineaThis project, together with the local NGO Guidre uses a mix of 40 local tree species as mixed plantations are more sustainable + proven to fix more CO2. Seeds are collected by local farmers. Valuing their forest assets promotes agroforestry practices. Seeds are coated with a natural mixture to protect them from insects until the rainy season, then seedballs are dispersed by direct sowing. Nature choses which will germinate (min. 500 trees xha)
