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.

Photo exhibition at the Palais des Nations entitled "Shared Risks, Shared Responsibility: Opportunities for Cooperation".
This photo exhibit is an event to highlight existing practices and opportunities to build disaster resilient communities and nations, as part of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten-year plan endorsed by the General Assembly in 2005 to coordinate country efforts to reduce disaster risk.
It provides visual evidence of how countries are interpreting the HFA principles to reduce risk to protect and advance development, and the need for this important work to be fully integrated into sustainable development initiatives.

"We received a lot of new equipment from UNDP – boats, sonar and measuring equipment," says Ryspaev Akylbek, who works in the National Academy of Sciences laboratory of ichthyology and hydrobiology – the only institution in the country with the capacity to conduct fish research.
"We can now conduct a comprehensive study of the lake water, species and determine the impact of various policies. For example, our Government prohibited fishing in Issyk Kul five years ago. Was it helpful? Has it changed anything? That’s what we want to find out."

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 cow sheds were also built as a result of the fund's investment. This cow shed can accommodate 138 cows.

The Secondary school covers 6 host-communities in the Zalingei region along with some children of nomad pastoralists. It serves 780 girls with 13 classrooms.
The Community-Driven Development grant covered the rehabilitation of 2 classrooms, the construction of 1 classroom and the construction and an office. The community contributed sand, soil, compact soil and water.
Before this there were more than 80 students in one classroom. This development helped to increase the attendance, as well as space for the existing students.

Rio de Janeiro, looking very different than looking from its main touristy beaches.
Note the new cable car connection, perhaps a controversial project, claiming to provide connections to the citizens of the favelas and reduce crime. Nevertheless, it was with little sign of locals, when we were there. A curiosity among an neighbourhood, which is lacking many basic facilities for a quality life. Its building costs are said to reach 210 million R$ (1 R$ = 0,39 €, 6/2012).
