💚 We’re once again doing what we love best: making a catalytic investment into nature. 💸 ➡️ 🌿 We’re excited to announce we’re deploying funds to scale a high-quality agroforestry project in northern Uganda that removes carbon while providing sustainable income sources for local farmers. 🇺🇬👩🏾🌾 🌲🌲🌲 Our new project developer partner Kijani Forestry, one of Africa’s largest tree-planting organizations, works with smallholder farmers to establish sustainable wood lots on their land that: 🌤️ Fight climate change; 🌱 Improve soil quality; 🌸 Enhance biodiversity; and 💰 💰 Provide local farming communities with new income opportunities from carbon credits and the sale of sustainably-grown timber and fuelwood. 🔎 As always, our decision comes only after an exhaustive due diligence process, including on-site visits to vet the project. We’re convinced it has great potential, so we’re helping scale it — with the ultimate aim of restoring over 300,000 hectares of land and removing an estimated 17M tonnes of CO2e from the atmosphere. 🌍 👇Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/gT73gRmb
