The dry seasons have grown longer and hotter. The rains are unpredictable. Simple things, such as making sure there’s enough water for everyone, have become a matter of concern. • We know that trees can help Iyenge’s community adapt. Trees contribute to climate change adaptation by providing shade for crops, preventing erosion, and bolstering the water cycle. The problem: we can’t plant trees in Iyenge. • The climate in this part of Tanzania has become too harsh for tree saplings to survive. Our Tanzanian tree-planting partner, the LEAD Foundation, knew it had to find another way to bring back trees. • Together with local communities, it did. Kisiki Hai, also known as FMNR or natural forest regeneration, is a method that restores forests without planting trees. It’s simple, cheap, and scalable. All you have to do is find a shrub and prune all of its branches except one or two. This removes competition and makes the plant grow, quite quickly, into a tree. The survival rate of those trees is extremely high, because they already have roots and are well adapted to the hot climate. • In this video, the community talks about how their climate has changed, and how they’re using Kisiki Hai to adapt. • #ClimateAdaptation #NaturalRegeneration • ___ • Director and producer Joshua Gottlieb (IG: @joshigot) • Creative director Pako Quijada (IG: @pakoquijada) • Script Joshua Gottlieb • Editing post-production Pako Quijada • Motion graphics animation Pako Quijada • Cinematography by Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian) • Additional support Elise Jost • Music Silent Bloom (SLPSTRM) and Clarity (Lane-King) • ____ • Punch keys to plant trees!
