This time, however, we have prepared something very special for him: Instead of traveling to Togo ourselves, we invited Namati to Germany for a month to show him our domestic forest conservation projects DeutschlandPlus. After all, we wanted to give him the opportunity to get a first-hand impression of our work and experience life here at first hand - including the really cold temperatures that he is still getting used to!
The first week was already full of new impressions for Namti: together with foresters from the Ahr valley, Namati explored German forestry and visited a tree nursery on the very first days, applied browsing protection to young trees and got to know the different tree species that grow here. A particular highlight was a trip to an elementary school, where he was able to experience forest education and see the children's amazed eyes as they learned more about the importance of the forest. These experiences are as fascinating as they are enriching for Namati - and they show us how valuable the exchange between our projects is.
The visit is a gift for us. It is not only great to finally have Namati here with us, but also inspiring to share his view of the forests. He brings a completely different perspective - after all, Togo is often concerned with the protection and reforestation of endangered areas. Here in Germany, forest protection is just as much a focus, but the challenges are very different. We learn from him about life and work in the tropical natural forest, while he struggles through the winter forests here and is amazed at how much effort we put into caring for the native forest.
We are full of joy and excited to see what the coming weeks will bring. It really is a special experience to build a bridge between Togo and Germany together with Namati - and of course we will keep you up to date on how our dear guest continues to fare here in Germany!
Emission factors in the CO₂ balance fluctuate – but why? Changes in energy use and more accurate measurement methods are the reasons. Find out why these adjustments are not a mistake, but represent progress in climate protection.
Namati, our forester from Togo, is visiting Germany for a month! He is exploring our local forest conservation projects and experiencing the German winter at first hand. The exchange provides valuable insights that benefit both our work and his work in the natural forest. We are looking forward to more inspiring weeks with Namati!
The US presidential election has a global impact, particularly on climate protection. Trump’s re-election could slow down climate protection efforts, while Kamala Harris could ensure progress with an ambitious climate policy. The outcome of this election is crucial for international climate policy.
