Unser Baumpflanzprojekt im Oktober: Südafrika - NIKIN CH

The Nguni Albany Thicket Reforestation Project is located in the heart of South Africa, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse culture. Here, we will restore damaged land while strengthening the local community.

The Path to Reforestation

The project's main focus is on removing invasive plant species. The biomass gained from this process will be used to nourish the soil and produce timber products. This process involves working closely with local communities, planting up to eight native tree species per square meter. This not only increases biodiversity but also promotes the preservation of typical South African flora and fauna.

Integration and Training

What truly distinguishes this project is the strong involvement and training of the local community. By creating jobs and providing educational opportunities in areas such as first aid and safety, not only is the environment revitalized, but the daily lives of people are also enriched.
