Mozambique is a poor country and the target of major tropical cyclones such as Gombe, Idai, Eloise, Kenneth, Shallane, Freddy, Álvaro, Filipo, Gormane, El Nino and was recently devastated by tropical cyclone Olga. Putting biodiversity in danger of extinction and putting the Mozambican population in a humanitarian crisis. We have already restored more than 200 hectares devastated by major tropical cyclones (recovering low-lying land for agricultural production and environmental management), creating community agendas for the sustainable use of land and other natural resources, creating and formalising natural resource management committees, creating agro-livestock associations (including women in the creation of self-employment through agricultural production and job creation through the green economy) and mapping and micro-zoning community land. Our activities are being carried out in the village of Ngoo, in the Partial Reserve of Lake Niassa, Mozambique.Not only that, but we are also carrying out community awareness work on planting trees and mangroves in areas devastated by major tropical cyclones as a way of mitigating landslides or erosion, community awareness on retreating from flood-prone areas and landslide-prone areas, raising community awareness of plastic bag collection in the aquatic and terrestrial environment, including gender in decision-making in the sustainable use of land and other natural resources, sensitising communities to combat uncontrolled burning and intensifying the practice of conservation agriculture to help reduce hunger, chronic malnutrition and poverty in Mozambique.
