Forest International Carries On

Beyond adaptation, we're fixing the planet

Community-led change - It's a big task. Over the past few months we've been working with rural villages in both Pemba, Tanzania and Canada to change the way we live and work as the world changes around us. We've reached a point where communities must adapt, and as our old systems of forestry, food production, energy, water provision and building break we're working hard to develop new solutions. All of the solutions we attempt are designed and developed by villagers and community members themselves, because if they can't answer the big questions surrounding climate change, no one can.

    
This newsletter is all about fixing problems, it's what CFIers are best at. We've got an Annual Meeting coming up, pilot projects abroad and a workshop series here in Canada. We at CFI are communities, we are villagers, we work the land and we believe in tomorrow. You are a part of the solution and we're going to work together to fix the systems we use. So pick up a shovel and plant a tree, take a workshop, build our vision at our Annual Meeting or support our work in Pemba. We're working to fixing the most broke system of all time, so we're going to need everyone.
