Climate Action Project: Roots Reborn 2.0
Roots Reborn 2.0 is a youth-led reforestation and environmental education project in Buea, Cameroon, focused on restoring degraded land and cultivating climate leadership. Through Eco Learning Circles, the project brings together students, farmers, and women for hands-on training in agroforestry, composting, and waste upcycling.
The team will plant and sustain 500 Indigenous trees across three sites: the University of Buea, Molyko, and Bokwaongo. They will also train 50 students and 10 farmers in sustainable practices. A Green Track Dashboard will document progress and amplify stories through the #OneTreeOneStory campaign.
With support from the University of Buea, Environment and Rural Development Foundation Cameroon, and the Buea Municipal Council, the project blends science, creativity, and community to make sustainability a shared culture. Every tree planted is an act of restoration — of land, of community, and of hope.
