We are #GenerationRestoration 🌳 On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we stand with United Nations in their campaign encouraging us all to act to restore degraded lands, combat desertification, and strengthen drought resilience. When creating ZEN, we asked: How can we make a real impact? That’s why we partnered with WeForest 🌿, working globally to restore and sustain our forests. Our partnership is restoring 2.11 ha in Mount Mulanje, Malawi, by growing an estimated 2,695 trees. By engaging with 13,500 families and communities to strengthen community-led governance, we are also creating new income-generating models. We cannot turn back time, but we can make peace with land 🌍 #ZenEnergy #EnergyDrink #EnergiDryck #NaturalCaffeine #Vegan #Protein

International Rescue Committee Pakistan’s work serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our planet's resources. As we reflect on the theme for this year's #World #Environment #Day 2024 By partnering with National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF) National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Pakistan Pakistan Humanitarian Forum we are restoring degraded lands, combating desertification, and building resilience against droughts, we can create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

This video showcases International Rescue Committee Pakistan efforts for providing clean drinking water to the communities of Cholistan, Pakistan, during times of drought. Through water trucking and the innovative distillation of ponds, they have been instrumental in ensuring that communities have access to the most basic yet essential resource: clean water.

The upper reaches of the Umzimvubu Catchment, Eastern Cape, are home to many communities who rely on natural resources for their livelihoods. In this region, there is an abundance of fresh water in the form of seeps, springs and streams - yet communities lack access to safe, clean potable water in their homes. In 2015, CSA expanded its rangeland management and alien plant clearing activities to include restoring and protecting spring sources within villages. Spring protection offers a low-cost opportunity with high environmental impact to complement the work of the municipality by providing access to water to remote rural communities. It also creates opportunity to reinforce and embed simple WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) activities while building the resilience of communities to climate change. #WorldWaterDay #WWD2024 #WaterForPeace

Meghalaya’s Grassroot level Response towards Ecosystem Enhancement and Nurturing (GREEN) scheme, is a government initiative that promotes conservation and builds climate resilience by addressing livelihood insecurity and poverty reduction. It is based on the payment for ecosystems model (PES), in which the beneficiaries or users of an ecosystem service make payments to the providers of that service. This perspective piece introduces the PES model and poses questions about its operation and implementation, especially against the changing landscape of forest conservation in India.

Vision: To enhance and empower local projects and livelihoods, to connect people for greater impact, to reconnect humans with wildlife. How? With local projects enhancing traditional skills and structures, but also via the creation of an incredibly comprehensive database designed to bring people together at landscape level. A fitting project in a country whose motto relies on the idea of togetherness. . . . . .

Avoidable losses? More than 100,000 homes wrecked and hundreds of thousands of fish and shrimp farming families losing their aquaculture investments in cyclone Remal. If the embankments were better maintained harnessing mangroves, and if the ponds and enclosures were better adapted to monsoon storm risks, how much loss would be avoided? How many of the affected families can expect compensation? Read on to know the view from the ground.

🌿 Join us this World Environment Day as we stand in solidarity with Zambia during these challenging times of drought. At Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, we’re not just observing, but actively engaging in the pursuit of drought resilience and sustainable solutions. 🌍 As nearly 97 percent of Zambia’s districts feel the effects of the drought, it’s crucial to come together and implement replicable and sustainable models to mitigate its impact. Our commitment goes beyond providing temporary relief; we’re focused on developing long-term solutions that can serve as beacons of hope for communities nationwide. 💧 In the Chimfunshi landscape, we’ve taken a proactive stance by installing four boreholes across different communities. These boreholes aren’t just sources of clean and safe drinking water; they’re symbols of our dedication to ensuring basic human needs are met, even in the face of adversity. 🤝 Join us in advocating sustainability, resilience, and empathy this World Environment Day. Together, let’s pave the way for a greener, more resilient future for Zambia and beyond. #DroughtResilience #SustainableSolutions #WorldEnvironmentDay #chimfunshi #chimfunshiwildlifeorphanage #chimpanzee

#MondayBrief World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is a yearly reminder to us all of the need to keep fighting to have a better environment🤺. A day to reawaken our love to keep addressing the environmental challenges everywhere we find ourselves🚯. Every effort we put in will eventually tell what kind of future we will live in. Little wonder this year's theme is "United Land: Our Legacy. Our future." We are all admonished to prevent the effects of desertification and drought especially in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas.🌎 How can we achieve this? We need to continually promote sustainable land management practices and global efforts put into ensuring we achieve these goals. We also need to keep raising awareness and engaging the youths, and Indigenous communities by enlightening them so they, in turn, spread the news♻️.
