Mowana Rehabilitation Movement

The mowana (baobab) trees throughout Botswana are struggling to survive and thrive because of human impact on elephant migration leading to overfeeding on these generous but sensitive trees. This species is essential to our ecosystem and needs to be protected—but how? And how do we not hurt the elephants in the meantime?

This project brings together the organic solution that I’ve created through research and indigenous practices and the education program that I’ve spent years developing for local schools. By training local young people to be able to use this approach to protect mowana trees, we will not only help the trees and elephants thrive better together but also plant the seeds and confidence of conservation experience for a new generation.
