This photo was taken in my fathers back yard in Chestertown, Maryland. My dad learned from a friend that traditional grass lawns do very little for the environment and are “ecological wastelands,” that don’t support many wildlife species, and require excess water (Maryland Department of Natural Resources). Over the summer, he purchased a mixture of seeds from ERNST Conservation Seeds, and chose the mix of native seeds for pollinators, and got started on planting them. The grass is highly invasive and he had to pull each clump out to the root, because of that, so far, he has only managed to wild and maintain this small patch of his lawn. I think the UN Sustainability goal this most relates to, is #15, to restore sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss (United Nations).
Just that small patch has managed to increase the biodiversity of plants and animals, as we are seeing more animals around his house than before. There have been a couple of new snakes, rabbits, lizards, frogs, and many pollinators such as birds, bats, and of course, bees. Pollinators provide an essential ecological function in our environment, they move the pollen from the stamen to the stigma and facilitate the fertilization of plants to produce seeds and fruits (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Now more than ever, pollinators are experiencing danger. Their numbers have been dropping by immense numbers due to disease and their habitats being destroyed as more and more construction occurs. Wilding lawns in an excellent way that people can increase biodiversity and help the endangered pollinators, and it can be done anywhere that has is a patch of dirt.

This included the Project Officer for Local Security Livelihood; Engineer; Project Officer for Small Businesses; Social Services/Education Officer; and the Logistics Officer.
They received training on procurement and finance, in order to be able to administer this training to the beneficiaries themselves so that they are able to effectively run the sub-projects themselves. The CDRD process relies on communities to do the procurement and manage the financial activities.
Faiza delivered the training through a number of different activities - flip-chart exercises, video – 7 modules PICD, card games and interactive exercises, as can be seen in these photos.

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.

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.
