ON THE RADAR: COCONUT TREES BRING HOPE TO INHAMBANE PROVINCE

Inhambane province – in the south of Mozambique – is home to a plethora of coconut trees that have been sustaining the local population for decades. Prized for its flesh and oil, the coconut is now making headlines with its ability to link environmental preservation to economic activity and forest health. Coconut Oil Mozambique, a BO M community partner business, has trained just under 100 families in sustainable harvesting techniques giving them vital access to an economic framework to enable them to better support their families. www.bom-mozambique.com
