A Welsh climate change charity, Size of Wales, has achieved a remarkable milestone by planting 25 million trees in Uganda, as part of a project expected to be completed by 2025. The Welsh Government funded this initiative, which addresses severe deforestation issues in Uganda. To commemorate this success, local tree nursery managing authority Deborah Nabulobi will visit Wales, sharing the profound effects of climate change on Ugandan communities and the proactive measures being taken to mitigate these challenges.
The Size of Wales initiative has effectively utilized community-run nurseries to distribute tree saplings, empowering local farmers, especially women, and combatting climate change. The efforts not only serve to prevent soil erosion and enhance local biodiversity but also promote economic sustainability and gender equality. As the program approaches its goal, it fosters a partnership between Wales and Uganda, emphasizing collaborative efforts to tackle global climate issues.
