In Makame Village in the Hoima region, Uganda, Wandera Wilson manages a nursery that produces an estimated 200,000 seedlings a year. He purchases seeds from the national forest authority as well as private collectors, depending on the type.
“We believe that a good tree is born from a good deed,” he says.
Wilson uses the funds from the sale of his seedlings to support his three kids and buy a sewing machine for his wife. He even helped one of his neighbors buy a motorcycle, an asset that can be shared amongst the entire community.
“That’s where the love begins — from the local man,” he says. “The connection increases the desire to protect them later on.”

Which foods have the most plastics? CNN says ninety percent of animal and vegetable protein samples tested in research published in February tested positive for microplastics. Other studies said vegetables can absorb microplastics through their root systems, and salt and sugar can also contain plastic. Here's the full story, including some advice on reducing your exposure. Tell us: Which of these proteins do you think contains the most plastic?
At this time, when you are showing pretended concern for the planet, Russia is destroying our lands, our forests, parks, ground, committing wide-scale ecocide. This horde is killing our people.
