Lushoto Forest and Beekeeping Project
Erosion control, reconstruction of farmland and preservation of montane rainforest through afforestation and beekeeping in the Usambara Mountains, Lushoto District, Tanzania
communal seedhouse, Borneo
The establishment of community seed banks in Manuhing Raya will enable the Dayaks living in and from the forest to continue their traditional agriculture. These strengthened communities provide protection against the further spread of industrial palm oil plantations and ultimately guarantee the preservation of the biodiversity of the rainforest in Borneo.
CarbonoLocal+
Founded in 2021, CarbonoLocal is a start-up aimed at small farmers in Latin America who farm in an environmentally friendly way. To reward them for their small but significant contribution to climate protection, the CarbonoLocal team helps them join a grouped international carbon certification scheme and sell the CO2 certificates in Europe. In their pilot project in San Juan de Rio Seco in Colombia, the founders of CarbonoLocal Nataly and Laura Cubillos also promote the development of a local bioeconomy and the decentralised production of renewable energy.
