Likoma Reforestation
The Foundation sponsors a reforestation project on Likoma Island in Lake Malawi that aims to reduce the negative impacts of deforestation, such as soil erosion and run off, through small community-managed tree nurseries. Importantly, the project is creating sustainable livelihoods and improving resource management for the health of both the natural environment and the people that live within it. Due to the continuous population growth on the island, more and more of its natural trees are being chopped down to be used as firewood for household cooking and heating.
