Programme
Tree planting, waste management, conservation and community awareness work to restore land and reduce pollution.
NISD runs community-led environmental restoration work: planting native species to combat soil erosion and restore forest cover, clearing plastic waste from beaches and waterways, and running workshops that bring together local authorities, schools and environmental stakeholders.
The programme treats environmental work as community work. Tree planting is paired with discussion of why the trees matter, who will maintain them, and which species will survive future climate conditions — not simply with a count of seedlings in the ground.
In the field
A community tree planting exercise and panel workshop on environmental sustainability, held from 3 to 19 June 2022. About 300 trees were planted.
Clearing plastic waste from beaches and raising community awareness of the effect of plastic pollution on marine life and fishing livelihoods.
