Uyo, Nigeria
Uyo, Nigeria
The Women in Nature Conservation Organization (WINCO) is an organization based in Uyo, Nigeria, with a diverse membership of 213 people from all walks of life. Its partners include: Georgie Farms and Bio-Gardens, Akwa Ibom State Nigeria, University of Uyo Nigeria, Ministry of Environment Akwa Ibom State, and Asaase Green Project, Ghana. This Chapter’s restoration activities include tree-planting in schools and degraded community forest landscapes and ecosystems, which prioritizes planting of indigenous species such as African pear, bush mango and magic fruit, among others, to prevent local extinction and boost the presence of indigenous wildlife.
The Chapter is also carrying out tree-planting in the premises of the University of Uyo to promote sustainable landscape management. The team’s future plans include: creating sustainable landscapes; replicating their restoration activities in other states and regions in Nigeria as well as in other West African countries; and raising a crop of focused, diligent, passionate and resilient female conservationists and molding them into the conservation leaders of the future, who are well-equipped to sustainably manage the landscapes of Africa.

Yaoundé, Cameroon
This Chapter is based in Yaoundé, Cameroon and consists of a group of individuals whose restoration activities are hosted by the NGO Support Humanity Cameroon (SUHUCAM). They have partnered with Forest Resources and People (FOREP), the Environment, Community and Development Association (ECoDAs) Cameroon, the Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development, and the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife. Since 2019, they have initiated and engaged in the restoration of 50 hectares of degraded land.
They have mobilized over 250 community volunteers (farmers and grazers) and planted over 7000 trees. Their future plans are to bridge the information gap in Cameroon, collaborate with like-minded individuals and engage grassroots communities to inspire young people and students to join restoration initiatives. Most importantly, they intend to extend their work to other parts of Cameroon, especially in the northern regions which are dominated by drylands and threatened by the expansion of the Sahara Desert, and where most young people lack adequate information to lead sustainable landscape restoration initiatives.

GIO sustainable lab is an organization situated in The Gambia working towards sustainable development in the Sahel. We aim to achieve the success of our projects by partnering with organizations that work hands-on to tackle these issues.
This year we launched The Viriwaa project which is focused on restoring mangroves in the 3 most degraded wetlands regions of The Gambia. We partnered with (GMECI ) Gambia Marine and environmental conservation initiative to conduct trainings as a baseline to the beekeepers and women oyster farmers who are directly involved and contribute to the degradation of these ecosystems by conducting unsustainable oyster harvesting and mangrove cutting.
We focus on ways to preserve the mangroves, as a long-term mitigation strategy to achieve a sustainable and innovative impact on social and environmental challenges while enhancing collective capacity.

Veracruz, Mexico
Veracruz, Mexico
This Chapter is made up of an interdisciplinary team based in Veracruz, Mexico, which comes together to promote sustainable community-based landscape management practices in the region. Veracruz is a biodiverse state composed of multiple ecosystems, including coral reefs, marshes, coastal dunes, tropical rainforests, semi-deciduous tropical forests, cloud forests and even alpine grasses. It is also culturally diverse, with 14 Indigenous languages and 11 main ethnic groups. This chapter believes that nature conservation is inseparable from the wellbeing of local communities, and its vision is for them to be able to use their natural resources in sustainable, equitable, and culturally respectful ways so that they become co-responsible for biodiversity conservation. Thus, their mission is to promote sustainable community practices that allow for the conservation and restoration of nature, while providing livelihoods and reinforcing local communities’ identities.

Bosques de Patagonia, Argentina
Bosques de Patagonia, Argentina
The forest fires that occurred in 2021 affected 6,300 hectares in Cuesta del Ternero, El Bolsón, Río Negro province, Patagonia Argentina. They produced the loss of native plants and other implanted ones. Professors and students from the National University of Río Negro (UNRN), together with residents affected by the fires, work on the reforestation of the Andean Patagonian forest.
The objective is to complement the reforestation work through the own production of plants: to install a nursery for the reproduction of native species in the Cuesta del Ternero on the premises of the rural school 211 Lucinda Quintupuray with the support of GLFx. The project also seeks to encourage residents of the area in the reproduction of native species, build greenhouses and plant reproduction sites.
