Tree planting can restore landscapes and livelihoods for communities facing drought.
🌱 Roots of Hope: Revive Lagdo are planting trees that benefit landscapes and also livelihoods, in a dry, deforested region of North Cameroon.Years of deforestation, erratic rains, and unsustainable farming have left the soil cracked, rivers dry, and communities struggling just to get by.In Bame, Lagdo, Munang Othniel Bungo initiated “Roots of Hope: Revive Lagdo”. For him, the answer wasn’t just about planting trees, but thinking about how the environmental restoration could also support communities to thrive.Together, they have achieved so much:🔹 500 trees planted: water-friendly, economically beneficial species that will nourish the soil, support livelihoods, and bring back life to the land.🔹 Community empowerment: giving people the tools, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own meaningful livelihoods.🔹 A ripple effect: beyond Bame, the project is inspiring others to take action.Join Re-Alliance Radio host Boris-Kaloff Batata as he interviews Othniel in this inspiring episode.

Language, Culture, Forests: a Recipe for Restoration. Starring Gibrilla Kamara from SILCC in Sierra Leone
What does it take to restore a degraded ecosystem? For Gibrilla Kamara from SILCC, the answer starts with language and culture.
In this episode of Re-Alliance Radio, host Boris-Karloff Batata sits with Gibrilla Kamara, the founder of the Society for Indigenous Languages, Communities, and Cultures of Sierra Leone (SILCC). Gibrilla shares his extraordinary personal journey from childhood in a rural setting, to working alongside the Peace Corps, all while teaching himself to fluently read and write his local, dying language.
Now, Gibrilla is using that knowledge to pioneer a grounded approach to climate resilience. By establishing moments for community to engage with nature-based culture, such as community circles and ancestral storytelling, to outdoor classrooms across 32 primary schools, SILCC is reviving an endangered local language. In doing so, they are unlocking ancient indigenous ways of Being that help to protect sacred communal forests from deforestation.
Tune in to this deeply inspiring conversation, revealing the profound intersection of cultural identity, legal advocacy, and grassroots environmental stewardship. It is a powerful masterclass in what truly community-led regeneration can look like.
