The project aims to electrify a rural village using 100% renewable energy sources. The source of biomass will be locally farmed trees no wood from natural forests will be harvested. Establishing community energy ( ... )
es/tree farms will reduce pressure from the use of fuel wood from local natural forests. The species of trees proposed in the project, Leuceana, is native to Cambodia. Leuceana is a fast growing, tropical legume tree (nitrogen fixing) which will improve soil fertility. Leuceana thrives on less fertile non-irrigated land often currently underutilized by farmers. These tree farms will not displace

Located on the eastern tip of Jamaica, the parish of Portland is prone to extremely heavy regular annual rainfall. Because storms and prevailing winds generally approach from the east, this region is exceptionally vulnerable to devastation by ( ... )
al storms or hurricanes. Portland, and by extension the Drivers River Watershed, is particularly susceptible to flooding and landslides as a result of its topography, fast flowing rivers and the nature of the soils underlying the normally thick vegetation. Regrettably, the thick vegetation protecting the slopes and the valley floors is rapidly being cleared for agricultural purposes.
