Preservation of Mt. Elgon Ecosystem

Preservation of Mt. Elgon Ecosystem, Uganda

1 Avaliações

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.

"we are now engaged in beekeeping — a practice traditionally seen as only for men. Through METGE's support, women have been empowered to keep bees without fear. This has shown that what men can do, women can also do — and do it even better." Deborah.
