  1. Natural forest regrowth offers a lower-cost path to climate and #biodiversity goals

    Excerpt: "As nations race to restore #ecosystems and curb #ClimateChange, research has shown that letting nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution. A study from the University of Queensland and the University of Newcastle found that natural forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional #TreePlanting programs. The work is published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

    "School of the Environment Ph.D. candidate Jiaqi Li said the team mapped how the costs and benefits of natural regeneration varied across the tropics.

    " 'Nature is a great gardener. Sometimes we just need to get out of its way while providing a bit of support,' Li said.

    " 'For tree planting, you need to purchase seeds and hire workers or recruit volunteers to plant and manage them, which is costly.

    " 'For natural regeneration, people just need to check the land for #InvasiveSpecies and remove them, make sure there are adequate seed sources, provide protection from fire, #GrazingAnimals and humans, and then it is mostly self-sufficient.

    " 'In many cases of natural regeneration, studies show that you can end up with a forest that could store more carbon and is more #biodiverse than a planted forest.' "

  6. First stage of fig tree planting: complete.

    I dug a hole (with a little help from my kiddo), put the tree in it, backfilled and did some initial watering and added mulch.

    Next phase is to build a small fence around it to protect it from the local critters.

  7. Today I’m in Nswazi where we are preparing to bring over 80 jackfruit trees once they are ready from our nursery beds. The community clearly needs trees for fruits, shade, improving soil, clean air, and fighting hidden hunger. I’m happy to have a new friend who has promised to support us with different tree and flower seeds. #HiddenHunger #EcoYouthsNetworkUganda #TreePlanting #CommunityImpact #SustainableFuture

  8. We now have 76 healthy jackfruit trees ready to be shared in church yards and 4 schools in Kyankwanzi District we had aimed for 120 but some didn’t survive during germination, the remaining will still support #EcoFriendly actions, #TreePlanting and fight against #HiddenHunger as part of our #SustainableProjects in #Kyankwanzi for #FoodSecurity and #ClimateAction very soon we shall be planting our trees #UgandaEcoYouthsNetwork .
