What we do
Justdiggit
Inspiring millions to take action to regreen degraded landscapes in Africa
Working towards a greener future
We are in a global climate and biodiversity crisis: our planet is warming up while the human population continues to grow.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, climate change, land degradation and over-exploitation are causing temperatures to rise, land to dry up and fertile soils to erode.
Luckily, there is a solution
If we bring back nature with nature-based solutions on a large scale, we can positively impact climate change. Now is the time to dig in and scale up. Let’s change climate change together!
Time to dig in!
To reach our goal and regreen degraded African landscapes, we focus on our core activities:
By combining accessible, nature-based landscape restoration techniques with the power of media and communication, data, and mobile technology, we can spread our regreening message and scale up our practices.
We aim to support farming and pastoralist communities in Africa by improving their livelihoods and increasing their resilience to climate change
FAQs
How does landscape restoration help?
By restoring degraded landscapes and bringing back nature, the vegetation keeps the soil healthy and fertile, which allows plants and trees to keep on growing. This helps restore the water cycle which can further prevent erosion.
How does Justdiggit regreen African landscapes?
We regreen degraded African landscapes by applying nature-based solutions. We work with various landscape restoration techniques, like water bunds and treecovery, in our projects to achieve this.
