This is a very good wake up call! Thank you Peter.We could raise awareness to
ensure all concerned(every one) is involved and participates fully. However, we
should not wait to act before awareness campaign is done. The two can be done
concurrently.Perhaps this could be a possible challenge but it should not be
taken as an excuse for sitting back and doing nothing to this noble
call/cause.Do you as individuals( You and I) have adequate space for
substantial tree planting? Even if not, you could plant a few. Do we still have
substantial communally owned land which we could use to implement
afforestation?...Thanks,Tobias

Dear friends,
Those working and not working and those in Diaspora, should we all wait for
the desertification in West Nile? due to increased cutting of trees more
so the huge numbers of refugees we have helped have not been trained on
environmental protection, we will all suffer the same consequences
http://www.newvision.co.ug/new_vision/news/1456123/refugee-straining-uganda-vegetation-officials
.
Me and you need intervention without any foreign support, not even to wait
for governemnt to replant trees, we all seem less bothered, as most members
in this forum 80% stay in urban areas 5% in diaspora, we only visit the
villages on public holidays, with less impact to the entire community and
spend3-7days with them. It's an eye opener, no aid agency has bothered to
start afforestation processes in refugee settlements, moreso the locals
continue cuttting and clearing the forest at terrible speed.
Thanks
Peter
