Saving the mountain gorillas
Planting trees
Trees are important for the climate - Mondberge's tree network of fast-growing conifers, fruit trees and indigenous species helps local people, protects the rainforest (and the gorillas) and offsets CO2 for us all. So far, more than 300,000 trees have been planted.
Gorillas as a whole are at risk of extinction and are vulnerable to a range of threats. To prevent their disappearance, wild populations of each species must be conserved. This is a difficult challenge for mankind. The Initiative has been committed to this challenge for many years, working closely with the local population to provide support on the ground.
In a more sustainable world, children are our future. That is why the Mondberge project has been a catalyst for schools in Uganda, where children have had opportunities they would not otherwise have had. Teacher training, environmental and conservation education and community outreach are all part of the project.
