Trees for Mhondoro

Film director Denslow Kisi and producer Lynette Gonga from Zimbabwe entered their 3-minute film about planting trees to combat the damaging impacts of soil erosion in Zimbabwe.   They told Earthbeat about the project which is showcased in their film. In parts of Zimbabwe soil erosion is a serious problem. Where trees and vegetation have been cleared, exposed soil is very vulnerable to flash flooding which can then leave deep gullies and destroy people’s land. It’s a classic case of the impacts caused by a combination of climate change and ecosystem degradation.
