Miombo Belt Regeneration

The Miombo Belt Regeneration Programme

Home to iconic wildlife, miombo forests provide fuel, food, medicinal plants and fodder for livestock. Working with local communities, government and businesses, we are creating community forests, supporting farming families and regenerating reserves in these precious forests, on which over 65 million people depend.
