A three-year reforestation project concluded in Western Uganda, supported by the Jane Goodall Institute. The initiative focused on distributing 15,000 Mutuba tree cuttings to over 300 households between November 2020 and November 2023. Farmers in ten villages were also trained in sustainable forestry, tree care, harvesting, and barkcloth production. The work aimed to strengthen community livelihoods and counter deforestation across Africa.

The project was designed to address the loss of economic livelihoods caused by deforestation in Africa. By reviving the traditional craft of barkcloth production, the initiative provided opportunities for households to earn extra income from future sales. This effort was part of a broader effort to tackle climate change and species extinction.
