Voice of the Mountain: Restoring Mount Bamboutos
Today, we are tuning in with an urgent mission, a vision of hope, and a massive call to action for our local communities.
For decades, Mount Bamboutos has given us life our water, our rich soils, and our heritage. But severe degradation, soil erosion, and deforestation have put our landscape at risk. That is why the Green Landscape Association is taking a bold step forward. We are leading a major initiative to secure the ecological restoration of 2,333 hectares of highly degraded land across the Mount Bamboutos ecosystem!. This isn't just about planting anywhere, it's about protecting the vital zones that sustain our communities. Our targeted restoration covers five critical areas:
âą Watersheds & Riparian Forests: Securing clean water sources and protecting riverbanks from collapse.
âą Forest Reserves & Community Forests: Rebuilding natural habitats and empowering local land management.
âą Sacred Forests: Preserving our cultural heritage and biodiversity hotspots.
And how are we doing it? By planting at least 1,000,000 trees across the mountain landscape! Every single seedling planted helps stabilize slopes, bring back natural springs, and rebuild local livelihoods. An initiative of this size requires all hands on deck. Farmers, youth leaders, traditional authorities, and local council members, this landscape belongs to all of us.
Join the Green Landscape Association at our upcoming community nursery setups and field planting days. Protect the young trees in your zones, spread the word, and letâs bring Mount Bamboutos back to life.
Plant a tree today to secure our waters and our future tomorrow
Together, we restore!
