Education - The Root of Success
“The forests hugely support the biodiversity in this area and play a vital role in safeguarding the climate by naturally sequestering carbon. We are proud of APOPO taking this step to restore degraded landscapes and reduce the deforestation, which is driven by basic needs, such as subsistence farming and reliance on firewood for fuel.”
