Meet the #IndigenousWomen restoring #Kenya’ s #MauForest — and reshaping gender roles

11 Aug 2026Exceprt: "Restoring forests, rebuilding livelihoods
For Nancy Letina, chairperson of Namaiyana Women’s Group within the Paran network, joining the collective in 2021 transformed not only how she viewed conservation but also her family’s economic future.
" 'Previously, as #Maasai women, we depended on our husbands for everything, even household items like salt,' Letina said. But in 2019, that changed after her husband died, leaving her as the breadwinner with the responsibility to provide for her four children.
"The first two years after losing her husband were difficult. Together with a handful of women facing similar hardships from Olomaiayana-Iltirben village in Melelo ward, Letina formed a self-help group that supported members during times of need. Their fortunes began to change when the group joined Paran and received training in #sustainable livelihood activities.
" 'We gained knowledge that showed us that every woman can also fend for herself. Today, women have their own income. We can pay school fee arrears when our children are sent home and respond to emergencies without waiting for assistance.'
"Her group currently manages a 0.2-hectare (half-acre) #TreeNursery where they grow indigenous species such as the African olive (Olea europaea subsp. africana), valued in forest restoration for supporting #biodiversity and also widely used in traditional medicine, which they periodically supply to Paran. Letina’s group has sold 10,600 indigenous tree seedlings to the organization since joining. One seedling goes for 20 shillings ($0.15). The proceeds support both members and group activities."

south korea: In 1953, South Korea began a massive reforestation campaign after the Korean War. Decades later, the effort produced a stunning transformation, with more than 10 billion trees turning barren mountains into thriving forests https://www.byteseu.com/2263831/ #ForestRehabilitation #ForestRestoration #KoreanForests #ReforestationSuccessStory #SouthKorea #SouthKoreaEnvironment #SouthKoreaForests #SouthKoreaReforestation #SouthKoreaTreePlanting

🌳 A new study has revealed that forest remnants are not 'islands' and efforts to retain their #biodiversity can be successful with certain interventions.
🐦⬛ Improving the surrounding landscapes with even modest increases in tree cover can dramatically increase a remnant's ability to retain bird species.
🐦 This is true even when the forest fragments themselves are small or isolated.

I figured someone, somewhere, is trying to grow food that doesn’t murder the soil. Someone has terabytes of wildlife camera monitoring and drowning in footage. Someone has a brilliant idea and absolutely no software skills or budget.
Maybe we can help.
We’re just people who can code, but maybe “just people who can code” might be exactly what someone needs right now.
We’re already collaborating with some rewilding projects, and we’d like to do more of it and meet more people trying to do things that matter.
The few people we talked to, who are fighting the important fights, are using broken tools, or no tools at all.
Maybe we can be of use to people protecting and restoring ecosystems, innovating sustainable food systems, or those tracking what’s actually happening to the living world around us.
We don’t have all the answers. I don’t even have most of the questions most days, and I’m trying my best to learn. But we’re good at software, we can build things that work, and we’d rather build things that matter.
To end this thread, I’m casting a wide net but if you’re trying to save one specific part of the world and software is the thing standing between you and doing it better—please talk to us! We want to meet you.

One of the sites at Travis Wetland where we set up our invertebrate sampling yesterday was in the new southern woods.
I helped with a planting day for this back in 2014, when it was still a wet field. Now, it feels like a real forest, with a canopy well above my head and lots of wild seedlings scattered about underneath. It's amazing how quickly trees grow when the ground is always wet.
Here are two photos of the same part of the wetland in September 2014, when trees were being planted, and now. It's like magic!
Many of the trees planted here were sourced from Pūtaringamotu, Riccarton Bush, the old growth fragment of kahikatea swamp forest in central Christchurch. Pūtaringamotu is a much drier site than it was when the city was founded so it's fantastic to see a new swamp forest emerging.
(Now we just need to rein in our carbon emissions to stop the impending sea level rise that will otherwise submerge all these sites in a few centuries.)
