One of the most densely populated countries of Africa, Uganda has seen its population double in 12 years. With 95% of the population dependent on toxic charcoal and firewood for cooking, natural forests have declined to only 10% of their initial coverage. Sustainable plantation forestry could offer a solution. Planting trees are cut to serve as utility poles, which provide electricity to homes and limit the need for firewood. The income generated by this process allows families to educate their children.
Filmmakers James Thomson and Thomas Hogben present Ugandans who are opening a new path with this innovative approach.
