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.

SAVE THE CLIFF PATH: This is the clifftop mule path from Hydra to Kamini. Note the hoofprints.
The Hydra Council is planning to pave this path with cement or paving stones.
This would be a tragedy. It is exquisite. Truly one of the most beautiful walks.
You may wish to join the campaign to preserve it as an earth path.

This is a photo from the Silver River Springs in Ocala, Florida. There are three main spring heads, along with several smaller spring heads downstream that feed the Silver River. These spring heads discharge 550 million gallons of clean, drinkable water everyday! However, the quality of this water has slightly decreased over the years due to human impacts. The ecological concept that I want to focus on is environmental degradation. Humans have increased the amount of nitrates entering this river, which lowers the quality of the water. This increase in nitrates comes from fertilizers or wastewater from the surrounding springshed. This then directly affects aquatic life negatively in this river. The scenery and environment here is beautiful to the eye but it is being degraded by our very own actions. Florida relies on these spring heads to supply water to its residents and we can not allow our actions to further decrease the quality of this water. This ties into the United Nations sustainable development goal number 6, clean water and sanitation. The goal is to ensure clean water and sanitation for all people. The United Nations state that millions of people die every year from unsafe water and that without proper management, millions will continue to die. It is not so much a problem at the Silver Springs River in Florida as it is in crowded over populated and underdeveloped countries. However, the fact that a very important source of clean water is being degraded, no matter the location is terrible. More attention needs to be brought to this problem worldwide and better management needs to be created to ensure that the future of our water sources around the world are improved to ensure that all people can have access to clean water.

Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in the migration of animals and plants. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.

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.
