Our mission in conjunction with Changamoto Youth Development Organization is to reforest 3,670 hectares in the Magila Nature Forest Reserve by including the youth community in all planting tasks and to plant 1.2 millon native trees.
The commitment of Changamoto Youth Development Organization to the reforestation of the Magila Nature Forest Reserve is not only to meet the goal of planting 1.2 millon native trees but also to restore a large part of the hectares already reforested with 70,100 trees that have burned due to a recent forest fire. About 75% of the restored area has burned, leading us to double our efforts together to achieve the restoration goals.
