Khula tree project
Indigenous trees are fast being harvested for fuel wood, building materials and wood carving. The rate of loss of these important species which store carbon and form essential habitats, refuges and food sources for a wide variety of native animal and plant species is worrying. This project helps source indigenous trees from vetted responsible nurseries and plant them in places that need it. This supports local indigenous tree nurseries and reforests areas with native species thereby restoring biodiversity and our natural heritage. It also creates awareness about and appreciation for nature and includes education towards a conservation ethic. We plant trees at events such as Bushfire and World Environment day, at schools, at community centres and in Nature Reserves.

Help discover important information that can help better conserve these threatened species and their marine habitats.

community eco-tourism
We help communities in rural Eswatini develop eco-tourism facilities and attractions. We also help market these to encourage visitation. This contributes towards natural heritage conservation, community empowerment and socio-economic development. We have worked with various local communities, national partners (including ETA and ENTC) as well as various international partners (including UNDP, CEPF, GEF).
