John Bobor Smart, Sierra Leone

I’m John Bobor Smart the National Coordinator for Earth Regenerative project Sierra Leone –NGO I have supervised and monitor the planting of ten thousand economic trees of different varieties in eight communities in Tonkolili District. The planting of these trees came about to plant more trees in deforestated areas in our communities as these trees will help reduce climate change impact. I love to see where environmental protection, climate change mitigation and adaption action are urgently taken, and the emission of greenhouse gases no longer exists. Currently am leading campaigns on awareness raising on climate change education and environment.

The establishment of the economic tree crop nursery site will be a major source of planting materials for afforestation, associated ecosystem services, and biodiversity preservation. The project will benefit the direct beneficiaries through livelihood to the community and sustainable environmental protection and management as a result of the establishment of an economic tree crop nursery site.
