Kakuta is a tiny islet in the Zanzibar
archipelago off the coast of Tanzania in

for centuries Cotton’s have prospered
for making a living off the land and
safe it is not the kind of place you’d
expect to find people innovatively
adapting to climate change but that’s
exactly what they’re doing
life here hinges on solving huge
problems things like deforestation water
climate change is making all of their
problems even worse and the Cotten’s
survival depends upon their ability to

we can start to get a feeling of how
disastrous global deforestation would be

committee in a mannequin I’ve been doing
by aki ali mahalia now meaty enough when
teleport a baroque thought that if he
could figure out how to get trees in the
ground in Pemba that he might be able to
do the same for Co kata Baruch also knew
he couldn’t tackle island-wide refer a
station alone so he recruited Jeff

planter I came to pemba seven years ago
now and I was just living here I was
trying to write a novel at the time I
didn’t really know what I wanted to do
with my life and borrow kind of heard
that I was a tree planter came and we
spent several long evenings just
discussing you know what tree planting
could look like you’re in Pemba it was
all fairly amateur we didn’t have a lot
of the expertise but we had a lot of
Drive and motivation and that first year
we were able to grow a hundred thousand
seedlings
[Music]
it was an operation run on a smile and a
handshake and we started getting support
the Finnish Embassy supported us and
then the European Union did and that
really helped us take it to the next
level Baruch and Jeff with a perfect
team
while Jeff concentrated an international

it was economic development on one side
communities were planting trees for
fruit timber to make a living but the
end result was an area that was now
covered in trees yes you could harvest
some trees and you still had a forest
conservation was a day job our model is
that economic development is directly
opposed to environmental conservation we
can’t conserve the natural world because
we need jobs we yes we need to fight
climate change but look at the cost we
can’t afford to do that we’re in a
recession that’s a completely ludicrous
way of thinking impendence showed us
that economic development and
environmental conservation are not
in addition to the reforestation efforts
Co curtains have completely revamped
their approach to farming and are now
using renewable energy to charge
portable household batteries proving
that adapting to climate change doesn’t
have to lead to a less comfortable

we’re good at growing but there’s a
limit it’s not even about sacrifice it’s
about changing and shifting our way of
thinking pick the smallest problem you
could solve we didn’t plant 1.3 million
trees overnight it was one seed at a
time at first one community at a time it
was actually a small problem because it
wasn’t on the pendent scale or at the
global scale it was it was just a couple
of people with an idea and I hope that
they could actually do it
