Community Conservation: Restoring Our Natural Heritage
MCEI’s conservation program brings together communities, government partners, and environmental organizations to protect and restore critical ecosystems. Our community-based approach ensures local ownership and sustainable management of natural resources. Working with traditional leaders and youth groups, we’ve established tree nurseries, conducted environmental education workshops, and created sustainable livelihood opportunities through eco-tourism. The project has not only improved biodiversity and carbon sequestration but also generated income for participating families through sustainable harvesting of non-timber forest products and eco-tourism activities.
Key Impact:
- 10,000+ trees planted and thriving
- 500 hectares of land restored
- 150 families benefiting from eco-tourism income
- 5 community conservation committees established
