Deforestation in Rwanda has been driven by the need for food, medicine, charcoal, and timber. The loss of tree cover in a rainy, mountainous country has had severe environmental consequences. In addition to tremendous loss of biodiversity, the region experiences soil degradation, erosion, and landslides.
Agnes Uwifashije, a farmer and leader of a women’s cooperative in Mukura, feels the impact of degraded lands through reduced harvests, income, and food. She and her neighbors want to revive the fertility of the soil in a degraded area surrounded by the Gishwati-Mukura Forests, the newest reserve officially gazetted in 2016. Plant trees here and help this community-led project come to fruition.
This project will provide mentorship to local farmers through their women's cooperative, helping them revive their land and improve their quality of life.
By planting both native trees and fruit trees, local farmers can rehabilitate their land while creating a sustainable source of food & income.
The Gishwati-Mukura forests are home to rare species including the mountain gorilla, chimpanzee, and colobus monkey. Help keep their home healthy!
