Greenworld Uganda project is a project aimed at conserving and restoring Uganda's climate and combating climate change. As Uganda gears up to producing it's first oil, there is need for afforestation to help in the carbon capture. We need to go green!!!!!
01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail
I am a fresh petroleum geoscience graduate whose worry as Uganda gears up for it's first oil is about sustainability and even a better environment through carbon capture. What comes into my mind is afforestation as forests can help in carbon capture. Kigezi sub region has got the most fertile highlands in Uganda but people still use these highlands to grow seasonal crops like Irish potatoes that are easily washed away by floods. Those who have planted trees have planted eucalyptus that is usually cut when young for wood fuel and charcoal. I am looking at starting a project if funded that shall enable me supply high valued tree species like pine since it is not cut young in most cases and this shall ensure enough afforestation that shall help in carbon capture assisted by the natural forests like Mabiira forest.
01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?
The main problem I am trying to solve is climate change. At this rate of climate change, all environmentalists are shifting their minds against fossil fuels yet it's also not wise to just abandon such a resource from God and moreso so the fact that there is no enough alternative source of fuel for all energy needs, we have to look for ways of sustainability utilizing the fossil fuels and hence a need for us to think about Carbon capture. Kigezi is majorly occupied by local people most of whom cannot afford to buy high valued tree species but these people are so motivated and competitive and once a project of supplying them with trees comes up, I am sure they shall be cooperative in planting and taking care of such trees for the associated benefits. Pine trees are trees that take longer to mature but this would be an advantage to the environment and to the citizens in the end as such trees are not always tempered with for wood fuel and charcoal. Imagine if Kigezi went green!!!!!!!!!!!!!
01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).
