You know what is even more impressing then before and after pictures? Right, the difference between where we dug and where we did not dig! This picture clearly shows the enormous impact our bunds have on natural vegetation. With Justdiggit
Every patch of green in these bunds makes a difference and helps to make the planet greener. Recent studies show that nature-based solutions can contribute up to 37% of the carbon emission intake required to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. With Justdiggit
The Bunds Cooling effect 🌱❄️🌙 Our regreening initiative reveals a striking difference in temperature between the areas with half-moon bunds and the surrounding land. Vegetation is nature's air conditioners, helping us create cooler microclimates! 🌍 with Justdiggit
Magical half-moon bunds 🌙🌿 The magic of Half moon bunds in Pembamoto, Tanzania! This transformation isn't just about the landscape; it's about changing lives. By harvesting rainwater using bunds we are restoring grass taller than the farmers themselves! With Justdiggit
Instead of planting new trees, Kisiki Hai or known as #fmnr involves selectively trimming stem outgrowths and nurturing the strongest ones from a tree stump. This method helps the chosen stems grow faster and stronger, transforming a simple stump into a tree. With Justdiggit
In just 2 years, these #EarthSmiles 🌙 have brought a remarkable transformation to the landscape. The vegetation first starts recovering in the bunds, and now it has already spread to its surroundings making the whole plot green. With Justdiggit
Transformation in just 4 months? Believe it!🌱 The power of Nature-based Solutions such as #earthsmiles where we start by digging, harvesting rainwater, then lush vegetation grows in the bunds and the greenery spreads its magic across the plot. With Justdiggit
#Regreening has a positive impact not only on the environment and the community but also on the local wildlife. A lot of wildlife frequently graze in our project areas (bund sites) because they are almost the only areas left with grass. With Justdiggit
It’s more than just regreening, it’s a movement!🌿🌿 We have activated over 200,000 farmers in Tanzania. On a mission to bring back trees, using our Kisiki Hai #fmnr technique they have restored an inspiring 23 million trees! 🌳 with Justdiggit Ecosia awakentrees
The true power of earth smiles🌱🌙 Even in the harshest dry seasons, our bund sites remain a reliable source of sustenance for both livestock and the community. This not only boosts local livelihoods but also generates income that supports development projects. With Justdiggit
