The Problem
This goal of this project is to break the cycle of deforestation and renew lands that have previously been affected through reforestation. Bole Community School students noticed the lack of understanding in their community about the dangers of deforestation. After learning about them in their biology class, they wanted to do something about it. As part of a summer program hosted at their school, the students started their own Roots & Shoots group and took on this project as their first in hopes of making their community beautiful and "green" again.
