| Video Discription | Greening the Community – A Conservation Project that addresses environmental sustainability for the future. What does greening the community mean? Our passion for conservation of the big five and wildlife goes hand-in-hand with the preservation of their natural habitat. Part of this includes a carbon emissions offset project that encourages the planting of indigenous trees. The Greening the Community project will help create jobs, alleviate poverty while also helping nourish the land and help our planet breathe a bit easier. Greening the Community is a collaborative project between CCFA, Indalo Nursery which is based in the 3100ha Hopewell Nature Reserve and Estate, which lies to the south of Kwa-Nobuhle, a township on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. Who is Indalo Nursery? Indalo Nursery, started by John Witbooi, is based in the 3100ha Hopewell Nature Reserve and Estate, which lies to the south of Kwa-Nobuhle, a township on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. Why are trees important for our environment? Besides providing us with the oxygen we breathe, trees provide food and shelter and are vital to keeping our planet’s temperature from soaring. Without trees the earth would be an uninhabitable desert. Why do we plant trees? • They provide shade and shelter plants and reduce evaporation of water from soil by the sun • Trees help conserve energy • Help to reduce air pollution • Protect the soil and water • Create wildlife habitats • Are necessary for wind reduction and control • Roots of trees help bind the soil and reduce soil erosion • Produce timber for future use such as furniture, building material, poles and paper • Any tree will make its small contribution to remove some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen • Fruit trees provide food • Trees can create a pleasant and beautiful environment The Community Conservation Fund Africa (CCFA) is a non-profit organisation that has conservation and eco-tourism at its core. It is both a charity fundraising and grant-giving organisation, active in sustainable development projects that educate and empower communities. The objective: To assist local communities while helping to protect the environment, wildlife and wilderness areas. Who is CCFA? In 2018, recognising the urgent need for tourism to play an active and hands-on role in community upliftment, education and conservation in Africa, hospitality groups ACCOR and Mantis, formed a non-for-profit organisation called the Community Conservation Fund Africa (CCFA). What projects does CCFA support? CCFA’s projects are aimed at improving the environment for people as well as nature. These have contributed towards the alleviation of poverty, skills development and empowerment in communities and all address ways of creating more sustainable lifestyles. What is Africa’s greatest Asset? We believe wildlife is Africa’s greatest asset. Without wildlife their would be little to no tourism coming into our country. What charity’s protect wildlife? CCFA aims to educate and empower communities in order to protect wildlife and wilderness areas. By doing this, we create sustainable lifestyles for the community and a protected eco-system. How can I offset my carbon footprint? Carbon offsetting projects help to combat global climate change as well as caring for local communities. In many instances providing much needed employment, health improvement, biodiversity, reforestation and broad social benefits to impoverished communities. Carbon offset programs allow companies or individuals to offset an activity that produces carbon emissions with another, like growing trees that sequesters or captures carbon emissions. 6T0w54HOfU0 |
