In Makame Village in the Hoima region, Uganda, Wandera Wilson manages a nursery that produces an estimated 200,000 seedlings a year. He purchases seeds from the national forest authority as well as private collectors, depending on the type.

“We believe that a good tree is born from a good deed,” he says.

NEW: The Indigenous Ogiek tribe in Southwest Kenya has successfully fought a decade-long legal battle to stop the Kenyan government from illegally evicting them from the Mau Forest and flipping the land for an alleged carbon credit trading scheme.

Yet, the Kenyan Forest Service has ignored rulings, going as far as setting fire to Ogiek huts this past November.

We did it! Thanks to readers like you, we raised $13,631 during this year’s NewsMatch. Thank you for believing in the power of news for YOU, not for shareholders.

We have a lot planned for 2024, and, with your help, we’re just getting started.

@thexylom@journa.host avatar

Our 2024 Newsroom Fellowship is fully funded thanks to you and a commitment from LION Publishers!🥳

Why does this matter? Because audience donations make up 30% of our revenue. It’s simple: without you, we don’t exist. And with your support, we can do more essential reporting.

But we’re not done yet. The national funders behind NewsMatch have given us one more challenge: Can you help us reach another $1,000 by midnight TONIGHT?

Beat the buzzer: https://opencollective.com/thexylom

Every year, gas flaring costs Nigeria $450M in unpaid fines and energy that could've powered a country with 40% of residents lacking access to electricity twice over.

Despite all this and ecological devastation, some of the worst offenders are insulated from the consequences. The Nigerian Agip Oil Company has been flaring in Ogboinbiri since the 80's. Yet, until this September, it was a subsidiary of Italian energy giant Eni.
