Treeplantation

One part of the programme is in a way connected to the above and concerns the present illegal wood-cutting that takes place in the region. The wood that goes down is mainly used as fire-wood for cooking. More often then not the activity is once more due to poverty, imagine yourself not even being able to afford a very cheap fire-wood-cutting-license!?
The scenario is: lone men enter the region in pirogues (traditional canoes) during day-time, cut their wood, surely with a risk to get attacked by e.g. lions, and then wait until well after sun-set before paddling back to the nearest point to where they live their survival life.
Most of these men have no choice, they have children and wives, their lives contain below survival limit based on fishing and a certain quantity of farming, money they rarely even see the sight of!

Cape Ltd's solutions to above problems are four interacting and entangling projects within the programme:
tourism that increase employment, presence and availability, including Cape Scouts when needed;
cutting and re-plantation following a controlled and in the future actually profitable system even to the natural habitat;
plantation of specially studied tree types with remarkable attributes including extremely quick growth, being living fertilizers and favored food of live-stock, the trees will also be planted together with e.g. corn;
finally Cape Ltd has studied the possibilities to begin wild life farming. Each and every one of these action projects will profit the fauna as well as the flora and absolutely not the least the natives...
