Why dig Earth Smiles now, not later? ⏳
When it comes to #ClimateChange, we all have a job to do and a deadline to meet. It’s no different when we dig #EarthSmiles. They need to be dug before the rain arrives, so nature can do its work by capturing and absorbing rainwater. 🌧️ The time is now, and the good news is, we’ve already started. But to scale our #regreening work, we need your support to dig more Earth Smiles before the rains be

Learn about this regreening technique 🌱
This is Fanya Juu Fanya Chini, meaning “throw it up” and “throw it down” in Swahili. These trenches are dug along slopes to retain rainwater, increasing water availability for crops and leading to more fruitful harvests. At the same time, they prevent rainwater from flowing downstream too quickly, which helps reduce soil erosion 🌧️ When farmers implement regreening techniques like these, they are
Wildlife Protection Needs More Than Law Enforcement – A New Approach Has Come
Across the landscapes surrounding the Luangwa Valley and Kafue National Park, a quiet but powerful transformation is underway, one that is redefining wildlife conservation in Zambia, and perhaps beyond.

Guess who we spotted in the field! 👀
The vegetation, restored through nature-based solutions, serves as food for local wildlife. If you are lucky, you can sometimes spot giraffes and gazelles or impalas close to each other. Even though they’re both herbivores, the two species are not in competition for food due to their different feeding habits. Giraffes also provide a degree of safety from predators, once again demonstrating that ev
