Discover how, in Kajiado County, John Silamoi is restoring degraded land through FMNR, reviving trees, improving pasture, and helping communities build resilience.

FMNR is a simple, low-cost and highly effective practice that regenerates trees from existing tree stumps, living roots and naturally occurring seeds already present in the soil.

World Vision Albania, in collaboration with PONT, is promoting biodiversity conservation in Shebenik and Korab-Koritnik parks through small, well-planned infrastructure like panoramic balconies, supporting sustainable tourism, education, and community engagement.

In Kamëz, Albania, young people from WV Albania’s IMPACT clubs led the transformation of Paskuqani Lake from a neglected, polluted area into a vibrant 84-hectare green park. What began with youth-led tree planting and community murals was championed by the local municipality, Environmental Agency, and local businesses - unlocking wider investment in playgrounds, walking and cycling paths, and restored green spaces. The initiative has revived local biodiversity, strengthened community pride, and created a thriving public space. It shows how empowered youth and committed local government can work together to drive lasting environmental change.
