Rwanda 🇷🇼 shows the way - bringing back nature.
Twenty years ago these beautiful green hills were deforested.
Now Forest of Hope Association (FHA) is bringing back chimpanzees, wildlife and the beautiful forests.
It’s a lot to learn from Rwanda!

Thank you very much @ErikSolheim for visiting Forest of Hope Association and engaging with local communities. Your visit inspires our land restoration journey. We are continuing to restore land, Livelihood and Hope. @visitrwanda_now @RDBrwanda @WeAreWilderness #Chimpanzees
Amazing restoration of nature in Rwanda 🇷🇼.
It’s hard to believe, but as late as twenty years ago Gishwati Makura National Park was deforested. The forest had been converted into grassland.
Now the Rwandan organization Forest of Hope is setting the area back to its old splendor.
The results are immediate and visible. Chimpanzees have tripled. Birds, snakes and rodents are coming back. The incredible beauty of the green hills of Rwanda meets the eye.
Key to the success, as everywhere else, is engaging with the local people. When they see the benefits of conservation, they become the first line defenders of the park. The park is a tourist attraction and income is shared. Agroforestry and tree planting create many jobs. Fruit trees bring better nutrition to local farmers diet.
I am happy to suppport this wonderful work as a board member of Vumbuzi Impact Africa Foundation. Warm thanks for exciting site visit.

The large Symphonia globulifera trees provided shelter for Gishwati's Chimpanzees decades ago when much of the forest was cleared. Today, their flowers continue to serve as an important food source for the Chimpanzee population.For more infos,click tinyurl.com/4v6nwfs7.#Rwanda.
