Wild life, more than ever in danger!

For this World Wildlife Day, Morija wishes to recall the inestimable value of flora and fauna in all its diversity.

The forest, a treasure to be preserved

Over 300 million people live in or near forest areas. These populations depend on the wealth provided by the forest.

Sub-Saharan Africa, where Morija operates, is one of the regions most affected by deforestation. Intensive and irrational agriculture is the main cause of deforestation. The intensive use of pesticides is devastating, it drastically reduces the diversity of flora and fauna and poisons the soil for decades.

And what does Morija do concretely?

With its Agroforestry Project in Togo, Morija offers farmers who grow cocoa a healthy and sustainable planting method that protects the existing forest, reforests unproductive plots and promotes the development of insects and animals while offering a profitable harvest of cocoa. The drastic reduction in the use of pesticides is also a strong point of the Project.
