Exploring Senegal Through Sana's Eyes!
Meet Sana, the Country Director for Tree Aid in Senegal. As an expert in environment and sustainable development, she has 17 years of experience in developing environmental policies, managing complex projects, and addressing climate change challenges.
Sana is working to influence forest governance and land restoration efforts. She believes Tree Aid plays a role in influencing and supporting communities to understand their responsibilities for ecosystem preservation as well as empowering them to own and implement strategies themselves.
Meet Rabeca Lauriciano, Tree Aid's Advocacy Advisor!
Advocacy is a key element of our organisation. Our advocacy advisor, Rabeca, tells us about how she got into advocacy, why she loves working at Tree Aid and what's next.
Rabeca recently attended COP with one of our community members and the Bonn Climate Change Conference where countries come together to negotiate and work towards agreements on climate-related issues!
Composting and Yacouba's Lasting Impact
Composting is not just a great way to keep gardens and vegetable patches healthy; for communities in the drylands of Africa it can be a lifeline.
Tree Aid has been working with and supporting communities to make and use compost themselves. Incorporating the method of constructing Zai pits created by Yacouba Sawadogo, trees are able to retain more water and infuse soil with nutrients.
The Zai's the limit!
