Uvira's Land Restoration Warriors
Uvira—at the northern tip of Lake Tanganyika and a key crossroads linking the DRC, Burundi, Tanzania, and Zambia—has faced decades of conflict and environmental degradation. In response, local communities, alongside Plant with Purpose and Ebenezer Ministry International, are restoring degraded lands through sustainable farming and reforestation. With support from World Resources Institute’s Restore Local initiative and TerraFund partners, farmers are planting hundreds of thousands of trees to protect watersheds and livelihoods in Uvira and Fizi. Produced with Amizero Pictures. Note: Filmed in early 2025 before renewed conflict in the Kivu region.
