Environmental Conservation in Rukungiri District
The project aims to address climate change by reducing carbon emissions, and to halt the loss of biodiversity and land degradation caused by forest clearance for cultivation, grazing and firewood. The project aims to tackle these problems by promoting biogas, fuel-efficient stoves and tree planting. Slurry from the biogas plants will be used as fertiliser on demonstration vegetable plots. These activities will contribute to improved soil fertility, household health, and income security for the local communities.
