🌎 What happened to the OPCA website ? 🤔
After over ten years of working on One Planet, we have decided to delete our website. The fees for site maintenance and the domain were forever increasing. Instead of spending money on the website, we are instead channelling those funds (Along with kind donations from others, including family members and Katie Adamson Conservation -help people save animals ) into a special project we have started in Uganda 🇺🇬
Last year, Jordan visited Uganda and spent some time with the Chimpanzees in Budongo Forest Reserve. It was an incredible experience spending 5 days, dusk till dawn, with a family of chimps, getting to know the individuals.
However, it was the time spent with the people who inspired action. Raymon was one of the rangers whose job it was to monitor the wild chimps. We spent long days together talking about the issues the chimps and the people face as they fight for land and food. Raymon had a dream to grow a forest buffer between farming land and the chimp habitat, as well as planting fruit trees in the village so the people didn't have to enter the forest for food.
Together with Raymon, we have started a tree nursery to grow native trees, fruit trees and alternative fire wood trees in order to try and help isolated chimpanzee populations and reduce crop raiding for the community members who have a house on the border of the forest.
We are just at the start but hope that over the coming years, the trees we plant can help both the people and the chimpanzees in this unique part of the world.
One Planet will continue running, supporting small NGO's across the world through making connections. We just thought that we should spend our money on planting trees instead of hosting a website !
If you would like to support the tree planting, then get in touch 🐵🌳🙏
