Tip - Donate Trees for Conservation & Jobs in Ethiopia

The Konso people have a vibrant culture and unique agricultural practices. However, a growing population and frequent drought have put pressure on natural resources leading to deforestation, soil erosion and a loss of native wildlife. To address these challenges, the Konso Development Association (KDA) created the Gersale Tree Nursery to reforest 5.6 hectares of land, annually distribute 200,000 fruit, fuel wood and fodder seedlings and create local jobs to care for the trees and land.
