Northern Nigeria is no exception to this.\n\nExtreme weather patterns—fiercer, longer dry seasons and shorter, more intense rainy seasons—are exacerbating challenges confronting local communities. Extensive cultivation and overgrazing have been compounded by desertification, soil erosion, and other environmental problems that have affected the livelihoods of people living in the region\n\nProblem\n\nContinuous deforestation is happening in Northern Nigeria because of the need for food, medicine, charcoal, and timber. The loss of tree cover in a rainy, mountainous area has had severe environmental consequences. In addition to tremendous loss of biodiversity, the region experiences soil degradation, erosion, desertification and landslides.\n\nSpecific focus with this grant funding\n\nOur goal is to plant 1 million trees in Northern Nigeria by 2030 through our school campaign program that is aimed to reach 10,000 students in the region. We will achieve this by partnering with local organizations, schools, and communities to promote tree planting and environmental conservation. We will also provide educational resources and training to teachers and students to help them understand the importance of environmental conservation. Our specific focus is on empowering school children on tree planting\n\nSolution\n\nClimate change is a global challenge that requires collective action to mitigate its effects. One way to address this issue is through tree planting and school campaigns. By providing environmental skills and knowledge to rural school children, the children will be empowered to protect their local environment.\n\nWhy we need your Support\n\nOur vision is to create a sustainable future for generations to come by promoting tree planting and school campaigns. We believe that by planting trees, we can help to mitigate the effects of climate change and create a more sustainable environment. We also believe that by raising awareness about environmental conservation through school campaigns, we can inspire young people to take action and make a positive impact on the world.\n\nImpact of last grant and milestone achieved\n\nTree Planting\n\nOur organization has harnessed the power of funding to plant nine hundred trees across schools and local communities. Here's how funding has contributed to our milestones:\n\nReforestation : With the support of generous donors, we've reforested degraded areas, creating green lungs that absorb carbon dioxide and release life-giving oxygen. These trees act as natural carbon sinks, mitigating the impact of climate change.\n\nBiodiversity Boost: Our tree-planting efforts have not only sequestered carbon but also provided habitats for countless species. From songbirds to insects, these newly planted forests are bustling with life.\n\nSchool awareness program\n\nOur school awareness programs have been instrumental in educating young minds about climate change. Here's how funding has fueled our educational milestones:\n\nInteractive Workshops: We conduct interactive workshops in schools. Students learn about greenhouse gases, renewable energy, and the delicate balance of ecosystems. They're inspired to become climate champions.\n\nStudent-Led Initiatives: Funding has empowered student-led projects. From creating eco-clubs to organizing tree-planting drives, students actively participate in environmental activities. They're not just learning; they're taking action.\n\n-Provision of educational resources\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/@GreenPlanetConservationInitiat?si=9cT198gyeKE0QeQi\n\nhttps://www.environewsnigeria.com/group-sensitises-students-on-significance-of-tree-planting/\n\nhttps://von.gov.ng/ngo-sensitises-students-on-important-of-tree-planting/#:~:text=An%20NGO%2C%20Green%20Planet%20Conservation,interview%20on%20Sunday%20in%20Jos\n\nhttps://twitter.com/GreenPlane49148", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "GreenPlane49148"}
