In Kalangala, a town located on Bugala Island, Uganda 🌍, community #agroforestry is emerging as a powerful response to decades of deforestation and exclusion caused by oil palm expansion. Their efforts challenge extractive models and offer a hopeful alternative rooted in resilience and equity.

Agroforestry is not just a farming method, it’s a tool for healing land, reclaiming identity, and building resilience. From planting indigenous trees to diversifying crops, Kalangala’s journey shows how restoration begins with local leadership and ecological care. 🌳

This story is told by Joel Ngobi @joelcollins256, a 2025 GLF Forest #RestorationSteward and local activist, whose work mobilizes schools and communities to restore degraded landscapes through the establishment of food, forests and environmental education initiatives. 📒
