Through a Green Fund investment, each Rweru Green Village household receives a pregnant cow. The cow provides milk for the family and the manure will be used to power biogas systems being installed in August 2016.

The clean up of Brandt's Creek, located at the centre of the property, was the focus of CLC’s remediation efforts. At the time, the creek was heavily polluted and crossed the property through a series of culverts and shallow ditches. CLC developed a 4.4-acre (1.8-hectare) stream protection corridor, reinstating Brandt's Creek as a 350-metre waterway.
The new native plantings and natural structures restored the stream bank and in stream character of Brandt's Creek. This led to the return of a number of natural species to the property, including the great blue heron -- a majestic bird that had not been seen along the creek for several years.
Today, Brandt’s Creek Crossing is a thriving residential neighbourhood in one of B.C.’s fastest growing cities. The completed project is a testament to CLC’s strong commitment to environmental remediation.

Les efforts de nettoyage de la SIC ont été axés sur le ruisseau Brandt, au centre de la propriété. À l’époque, le ruisseau était très pollué et franchissait la propriété par une série de buses et de fossés peu profonds. La SIC a établi un corridor de protection du ruisseau de 4,4 acres (1,8 hectare) et a retracé le ruisseau Brandt sur une distance de 350 mètres.
Le recours à des plantes indigènes et à des structures naturelles a permis de restaurer les berges du ruisseau, et de lui redonner un caractère naturel plus invitant pour la faune. De nombreuses espèces sont donc revenues dans le secteur, y compris le grand héron – un oiseau imposant qui n’avait pas été observé sur la berge depuis des années.
Aujourd’hui, Brandt’s Creek Crossing est un quartier résidentiel animé situé dans une des villes à la croissance la plus rapide en C.-B. Ce projet illustre l’engagement de la SIC en matière d’assainissement environnemental.

Sand dams provide water for vegetable nurseries. Increasing the range of produce grown improves both nutrition and food security. Because they are spending less time collecting water, people are free to spend more time working on their farms. A wider variety of crops can be grown to feed both people and their livestock.

Living Earth Foundation has been working in Nigeria since 1996, previously in partnership with the Living Earth Nigeria Foundation (LENF).
Living Earth Foundation has primarily worked in two key states in Nigeria; Bayelsa and Cross River State, located in the heart of the Niger River Delta on the southern coast of Nigeria. The Delta region is one of Nigeria’s most biodiversity rich areas; its mangrove forest is the largest in Africa and the third largest in the world. The area also contains Nigeria’s main oil reserves and since the discovery of oil in the region in 1956, major infrastructural developments including the building of roads and pipelines, along with an influx of migrant workers have taken place. Two million people now live in Bayelsa State and this, along with on-going development, is greatly impacting on the Delta’s ecosystem.
The natural resources of the Niger Delta are vital to the livelihoods of communities living there; communities generate income through livelihoods including farming, hunting, fishing and trading in forest products. As the oil industry has expanded, increased immigration and access to forests and fisheries has resulted in an over exploitation and unsustainable use of the Delta’s natural resources, threatening the livelihoods of the inhabitants in the area.
Living Earth’s community development and environmental education work enables communities to identify and address environmental problems whilst learning to manage their own resources.

Billions in Subsidies Prop up Unsustainable Overfishing
By Christopher Pala
WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (IPS) Calls are mounting for the world's big fishing powers to stop subsidising international fleets that use destructive methods like bottom trawling in foreign coastal waters, drastically reducing the catch of local artisanal fishers who use nets and fishing lines.

Another aerial view of the power of intermittent rivers across the landscape. These rivers are a Catch 22: they can provide much needed water storage (if you know where to look) but also ravage communities when they unexpectedly shift course during floods.

In 2010, Living Earth Foundation launched the pan African Waste to Wealth programme. The project responds to specific challenges faced by poor people living in urban slums in Africa.
The programme encourages all sectors of society to develop collaborative solutions to tackle the challenges of waste management. We support entrepreneurs, micro enterprises, social ventures and community groups to generate an income through waste recycling, and to develop public private partnerships with local government to improve waste collection and waste management in poor slum areas.
Living Earth’s Waste to Wealth programme is funded by the European Union, the UK Government’s Department for International Development and Comic Relief, and is currently active in Cameroon, Nigeria, Uganda and Sierra Leone.

On the sidelines of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the Rwanda Green Fund and the Development Bank of Rwanda have launched Ireme Invest, a groundbreaking new green investment facility that will support Rwanda’s private sector to access green finance and increase the sector’s contribution to the country’s response to climate change.
Rwanda has set an ambitious climate action agenda to build the country's resilience and foster green growth. To achieve these goals, the country needs investments totaling USD 11 billion. Ireme Invest comes in response to this need by offering a range of financial instruments tailored to meet the needs of Rwanda’s private sector.

Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Jeffrey D. Sachs' supporting statement for the Campaign for Climate Justice:
"What’s happening on climate combined with other pressures on our planet – population pressures, pressures of refugee movements, political pressures and of course this dramatic economic crisis – has raised probably by 150 or 200 million the number of people living in extreme hunger in the world and it has made the challenge of climate justice all the more urgent and manifest (…) We can’t let time run out.
What the new global campaign is calling for is of intense and profound interest for the whole world. I want to join the Global Humanitarian Forum’s call for action – recognition of time running out, call for an urgent response by all sectors in the world, the political leadership, the business leadership, civil society – so that we meet in Copenhagen and we take decisive steps forward that the world needs for its economic recovery, for meeting the needs of impoverished and hungry people and for creating a sustainable and prosperous planet."
