Cooperation project in Burkina Faso

The Unione Montana Valli Orco e Soana (TO) has set up a partnership with the Equiliberi Onlus association and the Computing Science Department of the University of Turin, in order to use FirstLife, previously adapted to Burkina Faso, for support the project TINGANGUE VOUGRÉ - Natural Rebirth.

FirstLife is mapping the land use in the Goada Forest, in Burkina Faso, where it is taking action to defend protected land, enhancing the agro-forestry sector and promoting sustainable agriculture also outside protected areas.

The opportunities for direct interaction between Italian and Burkinabe municipalities will increase, as well as the quality of their exchanges, thanks to the use of FirstLife. They can directly share and apply best practices in public-private partnerships for the protection of the natural heritage of the Goada forest.

GOOD NEWS:

For the Christmas Equiliberi Onlus has launched the fundraising campaign “Piantla-lì” in the name of the Goada Forest. See more on: https://equiliberi.org/tingangue-vougre/
