Green Wave Tree Planting Caravan
The Fondes Amandes Community Reforestation Project (FACRP) participated in the Green Wave Initiative which is a global education and public awareness campaign for Biological Diversity.
The FACRP Green Wave Tree Planting Caravan focused strongly on schools, both Primary and Secondary. The caravan had a series of interactive presentations designed to improve the prevention capabilities, response and readiness of vulnerable communities to natural and man-made disasters, such as loss of forest cover and the importance of flora and fauna within their watershed.
The caravan and Green Wave activities helped to build environmental awareness through interactive and educational presentations along with the tree planting activity sessions highlighting the benefits of forest and people with a special focus on biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
