Buy a tent from Dancover and plant a tree in Zambia
In Zambia, poverty and environmental degradation are closely linked. Indeed, Zambia is one of the world’s poorest countries and has one of the highest rates of deforestation. In the Copperbelt province, large numbers of miners have been forced into charcoal production after the collapse of the mining industry, leading to even more deforestation.
Restoring the Miombo woodlotsDancover has become part of the effort to restore Miombo woodlots, supporting sustainable socio-economic development and promoting a market for a green alternative to charcoal. The Miombo woodland is a unique African environment and important habitat for wildlife. By employing assisted natural regeneration of Miombo woodlots (plots of native woodland on farms) and introducing economic activities such as bioenergy and honey production, local communities can restore their forests. Thus, the farmer population benefits from diversified jobs, higher incomes and new skills. In short, we help locally and globally at the same time by planting trees, which over time will store Co2. Every time we sell a tent, a tree is planted
Dancover introduces the concept Tents4TreesUnder the concept Tents4trees Dancover has become part of a tree-planting project in the Luanshya district in Zambia. In cooperation with Global Climate Institute, Dancover is now helping the farmers in the region to restore the native Miombo woodlands that are disappearing.
The goals of the project:- Restore native Miombo woodlots on smallholder farms
- Promote sustainable exploitation of Miombo woodland and sustainable forest management
- Promote economic development locally
- Create more biomass to store Co2
Your certificate
When you buy one or more tents from Dancover, you receive a personal certificate showing information about the specific tree and the project in general. Together we can make a difference!
Carbon calculationIn the Copperbelt province, the aboveground biomass in Miombo woodlands can store an average of 145.4 tons of CO2 per hectare after 20 years.
