Uganda’s New Forests | Ecosia

Introducing our mini-documentary: Uganda’s New Forests.

Climate change is not just an environmental issue. It’s also a matter of justice: those least responsible for climate change often suffer its worst consequences.

In Uganda, we met some of these people. Climate justice isn’t just about helping them adapt to a changing climate – through local tree-planting projects, for instance. It also requires us to listen to their stories, and to spread their message. That is what our mini-documentary aims to do.

When we decided to visit our reforestation project in Uganda, we did not expect these stories to be what they turned out to be: stories of resilience, innovation, and solidarity.

Thank you Ecosia for giving hope in this society! Amongst all the news of mass destruction, wars, natural disasters, poverty and famine; I can't expect to look forward to a sustainable future. However, looking at how my internet searches is helping promote environment stability makes me beyond happy and hopeful.

Thank you Ecosia!

I've used Ecosia for a while now and every now and then I ask myself why I use Ecosia. These videos remind me. These videos that show what millions of people can do just using a browser extension are astounding. Good job Ecosia. Love and support from Sweden. <3
