World Resources Institute’s latest Global Forest Review is now out. Unfortunately news are not getting any better, but it is important to continue reminding all our readers and buyers of carbon credits that yours and our contribution to stop deforestation is meaningful.
We lost 10.2 million acres of primary forests in the tropics globally during 2022.
The bad news, human-caused deforestation increased by 10% compared to last year as per the latest report.
Schools make an important contribution to this alarming issue, as they move away from using traditional 3-stone fires to using energy efficient cook stoves, because firewood consumption automatically reduces by half. Keep making YOUR contribution when supporting Simoshi’s Project Activity by choosing the right carbon offsets. Below is just one of the many examples that depict this significant change in the school kitchens in Uganda.
During the year 2022 alone, 95 schools reduced 11,951 tons of firewood. That’s the amazing impact we made together on SDG15.
