Biodiversity
The Congo Basin, loses 11 million hectares of forest cover every year. With an increasing population, the pressure on natural resources is growing yearly. Deforestation, resulting from the over-exploitation of resources, is a growing problem driven by commercial logging and the population’s firewood collection activities. Even so, with high levels of precipitation, a steady climate, and fertile tropical soils, the region is ideal for planting trees and has the potential to reverse deforestation trends.
Community benefits
The Greenzone Reforestation Project will:
- Increase farmers’ incomes by providing access to alternative and sustainable jobs and crops;
- Provide trees and training on how to produce crops that are both nutritious and able to be readily sold;
- Fund a local health clinic for use by the community; and
- Offer education, training, and technical knowledge sharing.
