Description
This crowdfund is for raising money to donate to Project Greening Uganda.
Project Greening Uganda is set up to reforest parts of Uganda on a large scale as this has multiple social and ecological benefits: it helps in food production, fights the effects of global warming because trees help fight droughts, avoid flooding during heavy rainfall and cool areas where there are a lot of trees, while securing atmospheric carbon in new biomass. It can also provide charcoal for cooking without touching old growth trees which are vital to protect local wildlife like gorilla’s and chimpanzees, to name just two famous species. The forests where these beautiful creatures live are a five hour drive away over very wobbly dirt roads at speed of maximum twenty kilometer per hour.
Please see the 2019 effort to donate now: Greening Uganda with EverGreenCoin 2019
UPDATE: In lieu of seasonal rains starting, the foundation has advanced a small amount of funding to “Greening Urganda” so they can begin planting now. These pictures were taken just today (Feb. 2nd, 2018) and more will be coming in the very near future. Please consider supporting these efforts.
