The world needs more trees, and every tree needs water! Tremendous thanks to @WaterMemeCoin, which will allow us to continue our work of community-led reforestation in Ndélélé, Cameroon, thereby contributing to the health of Africa's rainforest and its inhabitants. Merci!

@TAKEAPOTATOCHIP Great question, Yam. We will know more once we have finalized site selection but we can already say this:
– no monoculture plantations
- at least 70% native species
We are exploring the best groupings of tree species that will also address ongoing climate trends.

@IrokoAnalytics What kind of trees, is the focus on more native Somali trees or drought resistant trees in general from around the world. Hope we don't get more of the Australian pine or something.

IOM is working with @IrokoAnalytics to explore carbon offset reforestation opportunities in Somalia.
With drought-driven displacement becoming more severe, it is vital to find ways of moving towards a sustainable future.
