A Global Forest
2 Sep 2019
Fellows at the World Forestry Institute debut forest-preserving projects with global reverberations.
When Richard Banda applied to the World Forestry Institute's International Fellowship program, he wanted to learn about the most efficient ways to prune trees native to Malawi. A forestry officer, Banda’s company is part of a reforestation project in Viphya Plantations, the largest forestry plantation in Malawi.
“Malawi had one of the largest forest plantations in Africa, but once it was harvested, it was never replanted,” he says. “With 98% of people relying on fuel wood for cooking, pressure to harvest the country’s natural forests has increased.”
