I have a 4 pager afforestation and reforestation concept paper anyone interested can approach me to jointly identify a potential philanthropists or corporate to work with us www worldactionfund. org in the green crusade for West Nile.
Patrick individual efforts are OK but this is a huge community habitat it needs awareness education and demonstration which a single effort will be futile like dropping a needle in river Nile, this is a joint anticipated risk already seen on ground that involves ignition and motivation and an eye opener as the entire communities are struggling for food with the effect of climate change in the region. I think alliance is the best option by creating green volunteers for a pilot project in more risky sub counties an impact that can be felt easily. BAT started this initiative some years where some of us benefited to be educated as our parents sale the tobacco cured to the company back after depleting the environment for wood fuel for over 60 years in West Nile, they left no sustainable approach and they have left...more new tobacco companies will continue to cut the remaining wood fuel and disappear leaving us vulnerable "pakalast ". Moreso the increased number of refugees will add more threat to the natural forestry as they are not informed about the risk of cutting natural trees, moreover in South Sudan wildlife or cutting of natural forest in a community is understood from childhood and no one easily downs a tree, they have tough local bye laws, killing an animal can be a disaster for you in South Sudan. But in Uganda it's "Mana" from heaven, I don't care is killing us. A single demonstration in a sub county can cause an impact and involving NFA and communities.
