🌍 Did you know there are wolves in Africa? Yes, indeed! The Ethiopian wolf, the most endangered predator in Africa, resides in the Ethiopian highlands. Unfortunately, only 450 of these majestic creatures remain due to deforestation. Deforestation, driven by poverty and the need for farmland, has severely impacted Ethiopia's wildlife and forest cover. However, there is hope! 🇪🇹 The Ethiopian government, in collaboration with @NICFI (Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative) and @FarmAfrica, is working tirelessly to restore and preserve Ethiopia's precious forests, especially in the Bale Mountains. 🌱 Together, we aim to plant forests to cover as much land as they did a hundred years ago. This ambitious goal means planting on 170,000 km², ultimately covering over 340,000 km² – an area almost the size of Germany. 👏 With over ten years of cooperation with Norway, Ethiopia is well on its way to achieving a 30% forest cover, ensuring better living conditions for both wildlife and local communities. And at the same time preserving the water source in the Bale Mountains for over 12 million people in East Africa. 🌳🐺 See the full video here: https://lnkd.in/dhGTwg2s #Ethiopia #Conservation #NICFI #FarmAfrica #Environment #Sustainability #BaleMountains #ForestRestoration #WildlifeConservation #ClimateAction #OTFF
