Spreading awareness on climate change

Dear friends,

Thanks so much for your continued support of our project! Over the past few months, we’ve been working closely with women community leaders who have been trained to spread awareness about climate change in their communities. The goal is to share knowledge about agroforestry and its benefits, covering topics like:

  • What is climate change?
  • How does it happen globally and locally?
  • How does it affect us on a global and local scale?
  • What can we do in our daily lives to address it?
  • How does agroforestry help reduce the impact of climate change?
  • What are the advantages of agroforestry compared to traditional farming?
  • What are the unique conditions (soil, climate) in Bukit Batu?

We’ve been running workshops in both schools and villages, reaching nearly 200 participants so far. One highlight was an Earth Day school event, which included a fun poster-making competition with prizes.

From our post-workshop evaluations, we found that while 86% of participants had heard of "climate change" before, they didn’t know what it meant. After the workshop, 92% recognized that climate change is already happening, 95% understood its impact, 99% grasped its causes, and 96% learned ways to help reduce its effects.

Whenever we introduce a new concept, like agroforestry, it’s really important that the community understands the reasoning behind it. That way, they can form their own opinions and decide if they want to participate.

We’re thrilled with the progress so far and are hopeful that many smallholder farmers in Bukit Batu will be excited to try agroforestry as a more sustainable way to use their land.
