Reforestation of community spaces in the city of Garoua

In Garoua, the community-space reforestation project responds to a Sahelian climate marked by extreme conditions. The city experiences very high temperatures, which can exceed 43°C, with recent records close to 47°C. It is also exposed to recurrent flooding with significant impacts. Drought and irregular rainfall greatly weaken local agriculture. The prolonged dry season causes water stress and disrupts agricultural cycles. Soil degradation and aggressive rains worsen environmental vulnerability. Reforestation appears as a key solution to restore the ecosystem and improve urban resilience.
