Jamaica’s ‘powerless’ fishermen watch livelihoods disappear

What are some of the collective efforts of women in the preservation their dependance on the land? Are there educational classes for land use? Are there reforestation activities? Are there collaborative efforts with other African countries who are making headway in turning around the effects of overusage of lands, deforestation, and other negetive effects of climate change?
Thanks for responding to my email.
Hello Stella,
Thanks for commenting. A few communities are conserving their forests already in Nigeria. An example is the Ekuri community in Cross River state, which is Nigeria’s REDD pilot forest community.
But the most important effort which everyone can get involved with is talking about climate change and why our trees and forests must be kept. We can spread the word in our villages and communities. That way, more women can get involved in reforestation. Hopefully, create awareness which would help build more partnerships in African and globally.
Thank you. Keep visiting the CCMP site.
