Can bees save trees in Cameroon?

CERAF-Nord are the 2023 Ashden Award winners of the 2023 Ashden Award for Natural Climate Solutions, supported by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

In a region badly affected by deforestation, poverty and conflict, CERAF-Nord is helping indigenous communities raise their incomes and protect the environment in the surrounding Benue National Park and in the north of Cameroon. The organisation has helped local people plant more than 543,000 trees, while more than 1,500 people are earning a better living.
