Normec contributes to forest conservation in Zambia
This year, Normec has made a significant contribution to forest conservation in the Copperbelt region of Zambia. We are supporting small-scale farmers in protecting and restoring the native miombo forests by planting 10,000 trees, equivalent to offsetting 1,000 tCO2. 🌳
The Copperbelt region has faced significant challenges from deforestation, with miombo forests severely impacted by intensive mining and charcoal production. Our project not only focuses on reforestation but also encourages the growth of naturally regenerating forests, helping to restore biodiversity and create habitats for endangered species.
In addition to environmental protection, we are empowering farmers by providing them with the tools and training to diversify their income sources. 🌾
As we reflect on the positive impact of this project, we look forward to continuing our efforts towards a more sustainable future.
