Rubuguri Tree Planting - stage 6

Rubuguri district in Western Uganda is home to many subsistence farmers who make a living from smallholdings of land, usually on steep erosion-prone hillsides near Bwindi National Park. Since 2016, we've funded the planting of over 35,000 trees by 197 subsistence farmers. These trees provide shade, prevent erosion, capture carbon, and bring other benefits. The Rubuguri community want more!

Akantorana Moses has a demanding day-job in gorilla conservation, but it was his idea to set this project in motion; he is our local organiser and contact person. (Bwindi is one of the last strongholds of the mountain gorilla.)

I guarantee to cover any admin and transport costs myself, so every $NZ you donate will plant 5 tree seedlings.
