These community-led projects are often organized as festivals where people of all ages come together to plant trees, reinforcing a shared responsibility for the land.
An essential part of GCA’s mission is to preserve and teach the traditional environmental knowledge of GEMA communities. Elders and community leaders share practices like sustainable hunting, herbal medicine gathering, and wildlife conservation with the younger generation. This ensures that valuable knowledge is not lost and that the youth understand the importance of protecting their natural heritage.
