The "One Student, One Tree" project is a crucial initiative to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable practices in Mali. Your financial support at various levels will help achieve these objectives and create a lasting positive impact on the environment and local communities.
Mali faces rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall, threatening agriculture, water, livestock, and forestry. Climate change leads to increased vegetation degradation, reducing water infiltration and increasing runoff, worsening droughts. This situation endangers local livelihoods, exacerbates resource-related conflicts, and intensifies environmental degradation.
The "One Student, One Tree" project will address climate change in Mali by planting trees in schools, restoring degraded land, and improving water infiltration, thus reducing drought impacts. Through environmental education, students will become environmentally conscious, promoting sustainable practices. Community engagement ensures widespread participation, while capacity building equips teachers to continue advocacy. Monitoring and evaluation will ensure effectiveness and sustainability.
The "One Student, One Tree" project will have long-term impacts by restoring ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity, and reducing soil erosion. It will strengthen community resilience to droughts and contribute to carbon sequestration. Environmental education will develop responsible and engaged citizens, while community involvement will foster social cohesion. Skills gained in sustainable management will improve living conditions and inspire similar initiatives.
