2022-2023, 100000 NATIVE TREES PLANTED WITH ONE TREE PLANTED (OTP)

Within the sidelines of SURUDEV’s funded project by the AFR100, One tree planted dubbed “Njising-Tabenken Community Forest Restoration initiative via sustainable Agricultural practices, re-afforestation and water catchment management”, SURUDEV planted over 100000 native tree species in degraded forest patches, degraded water catchments and degraded farm lands to improve on access to food and nest material by wildlife, increase water discharge from catchments, improve on the forest cover, thereby increasing the rate of carbon sequestration by trees and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.  Trees were planted in partnership with the local council, local traditional chiefs, volunteers drawn from Tabenken, Binka, Binsha and Nkambe. The five year project that was launched in july 2022 will be ending by 2026 and shall include as well trainings on livelihood activities for income generation such as bee keeping, market gardening, Mushroom cultivation, poultry and other agro-pastoral activities as well as valorization of non-timber forest products.
