Accelerating Nature based Solutions in Semi Arid & Guinea Savannah Zones To Tackle The Primary & Secondary Impacts of Climate Change In Nigeria
The project began with the identification and selection of suitable locations for the two community-based nurseries. Local stakeholders, including community leaders and representatives, were consulted through out the process to ensure alignment with their needs and priorities. Training sessions were conducted for nursery caretakers and community members, equipping them with essential skills in tree seedling propagation and nurturing.
The tree planting activities were carried out in collaboration with local farmers, women’s groups, and youth associations. Communities actively participated in tree planting events, leading to the successful establishment of new green areas and the restoration of degraded lands. Agroforestry techniques were promoted, encouraging farmers to integrate tree planting with crop cultivation for sustainable land use.
