3 #African Cities Restore #Nature to Revitalize Their #Rivers

"Africa’s cities, from large metropolises to smaller towns, are increasingly characterized by growing #UrbanSprawl. #Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, is expanding by about 2,000 people and 5 hectares (10 football fields) every day, according to a World Bank estimate. #Kumasi, an intermediary city in #Ghana, is growing more than 5% every year — at least twice as fast as the capital city, Accra.

As cities and surrounding farmlands expand further into their hinterlands, they encroach upon watersheds essential to water supply and climate resilience.

Watersheds are the natural area of land that drain into a common body of water. The consequences of their degradation are threefold. Without tree cover and healthy soils to absorb rainfall, cities may lose a critical source for groundwater recharge, leading to water shortages. Not only does the quantity of water suffer, so does its quality. Without strong roots to protect and anchor the soil, sediment and the chemicals within it are washed into nearby water bodies, often the primary source for a city’s drinking water. That same runoff can turn into floodwater.

How Natural Infrastructure Supports #WaterSecurity.

Many cities that once depended on their watersheds for water now face both increasing scarcity and heightened vulnerability to #extremeWeather. There are, however, #NatureBasedSolutions to help alleviate these problems.

Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are starting to deliver positive results in three African cities..."

„A growing number of African nationals are being drawn into Russia’s war against Ukraine. (...) Young men targeted in countries where #unemployment is high and #poverty is prevalent are lured with the promise of well-paid civilian jobs and then coerced into #militaryservice on some of the war’s most dangerous front lines.”

The histories of #enslavement, #displacement and organised #theft are foundational to the modern world - the #UNdeclaration "calls on all nations to recognise what happened, teach its history honestly, and remember the victims"

How utterly disturbing that @EUCommission @Bundesregierung refused to do so... #Europe continuing on its exploitative trajectory, no lessons learned 😭
