SUPPORT Verified for authenticity Learn More IMPACT PROMISE Our Partners are carefully selected due to their high conservation impact Partner Snapshot Partner Name: ADHET Location: Chad (Provinces of Lake Chad, Batha, Hadjar Lamis, and Guera) Appeal Category: Land Purchase Challenges And Threats: Advance of the desert Deforestation Lack of environmental education among locals Actions: Tree planting initiatives to stop the advance of the desert Providing the population with native plants Instilling a culture of environmental preservation among communities The Challenge Illiteracy and poverty contribute significantly to environmental degradation in many regions. Due to low literacy rates, raising awareness about the dangers of environmental destruction is challenging. This makes it essential to educate communities and foster a collective understanding of environmental issues. In many cases, extreme poverty forces people to engage in harmful activities that degrade their surroundings in the quest for survival. Furthermore, law enforcement is often too lenient toward those committing environmental crimes. This laxity is sometimes due to bribes or incentives that officers receive, undermining efforts to protect the environment and enforce regulations. Urgent Solutions To address deforestation and promote environmental conservation, a multifaceted approach is essential. This includes launching a major campaign to emphasize the importance of preserving forests and encouraging every individual to plant and maintain at least one tree, whether in urban or rural areas. Additionally, securing land with adequate water supply equipment will be a priority to develop nurseries, ensuring the sustainable growth of new trees. To make this effort more accessible, plants will be provided to the public at a reduced cost, encouraging widespread participation in reforestation and environmental stewardship.
