From a familiar seasonal fruit to a product in the shops, morula has a story of local value worth exploring. 🌱🌱

Many Batswana have their own memories of enjoying this indigenous fruit. Turning it into jam, sauces, yoghurts or fruit snacks creates an opportunity to extend its use beyond the harvesting season and earn an income from a locally available resource.
For that opportunity to grow, producers need processing skills and access to buyers.

The trees supplying the fruit also need protection and care. This is one way to understand “Forests for Economies”: the connection between a tree and the livelihoods it can support.

📍Do you make products using the fruits or seeds of (indigenous) trees? Send us a direct message. We would like to explore a visit and share the work behind your products.

How can planting fruit trees benefit a community? 👫🏽👫🏽👫🏽👫🏽

Over time, a well-managed community orchard can provide fruit for participating households. Where harvests exceed local needs, surplus fruit could be sold and processed into dried fruits, jams or juices, with proceeds helping to maintain the orchard or support an agreed community priority.

The benefits depend on decisions made together: who cares for the trees, and how will the harvest be shared?

🌳🌳🌳 Green Loop Foundation’s One Million Trees Campaign connects tree planting with community participation. Under the theme “Forests for Economies”, we are encouraging an approach that places lasting local benefit at the centre of planting.
What would a community orchard make possible where you live?

🇧🇼 60 years of Botswana. The next chapter starts now.

As we celebrate six decades of independence, the focus must also be on the future we are building: resilient communities, responsible growth and sustainable development.

That same future-focused conversation is at the heart of Botswana Sustainability Week 2026, where sustainability moves from ambition to action.

Happy 60th Independence, Botswana. P**a!

🌳 A tree can provide fruit, shade and healthier soil.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Many trees can support livelihoods, community enterprises and healthier ecosystems.

More tourism value needs to reach small businesses and communities within the KAZA region, which means local enterprises need easier access to markets and supply chains for the tourism sector. ❗️

Lindiwe Modise is representing Green Loop Foundation at the three-day KAZA workshop on regenerative nature-based tourism in Maun, from 22–24 September. Her contribution brings the practical challenges SMMEs face in the tourism value chain into discussions with regional stakeholders and strategic partners.

For Green Loop Foundation, connecting these realities to regional planning is essential. Regenerative tourism must translate into viable opportunities for local businesses, alongside better outcomes for the landscapes they depend on.
