6 Climate Adaptation
With climate change driving more rapid degradation of land and more intense weather events, strategic planting and restoration of landscapes is an essential tool in building climate resilience for people and biodiversity. Restoring vital coastal ecosystems in Africa will directly serve to protect these most vulnerable locations from the worst impacts of extreme weather events, such as rising seas, hurricanes and flooding. Plus, both around the fishing village of Antsanitia in Madagascar and the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania , our planting and conservation efforts are supporting the gradual restoration of once-productive fisheries that are so vital for these coastal communities.
