Why do we run a Forest Conservation project in Africa? Deforestation in Africa is a huge problem and, in Nigeria, an area of forest the size of a football pitch is cut down every regularly!
Problems
- Rapid population growth
- Acres of forest being cleared for agriculture
- As forests disappear, mass erosion contributes to flooding
- No ownership by the local community
- The government is under-resourced
Solution
- Forest Conservation Committees established to protect forests
- Simple bylaws adopted and enforced
- Ensure families around the forests use Changu Changu Moto
fuel-efficient cookstoves to reduce wood used for cooking - Encourage the planting of new trees to reduce the pressure on indigenous forests
