Chaona’s whole family depends on the forest. Her father is a charcoal burner, and her mother collects wood for cooking. But Chaona loves the birds and animals that live there and worries about where they will live when trees are cut down. She learns that trees are clever; as well as providing shade and homes for her favourite animals, they clean the air that she breathes and can even make rain.
How can Chaona find a way to protect the forest and help them all?
This uplifting story by Dr. Alayne Oriol Cotterill and Professor Amy Dickman from Lion Landscapes explores the complexities of deforestation and the devastation it can bring to the families and wildlife living there, as well as the wider World.
Last week, BCP’s team donated 50 books to schools in Rufunsa District, home to our Lower Zambezi REDD+ Project area. We hope that this will help to strengthen conservation education by giving students a role model to whom they can relate.
Giving young people access to information on deforestation and conservation protection is essential to safeguarding forests and the next generation against the impacts of climate change. 
Set in Zambia and seen through the eyes of 10-year-old Chaona, these books are available for just $8 (or ZMK equivalent) from our BCP (BioCarbon Partners) offices in Leopards Hill Business Park (drop us a message here to find out more).
For every book sold BCP is donating one to a local school in Zambia, making sure your money goes that much further towards conservation education in Zambia. With each page translated into both English and Nyanja more children can enjoy this educational story about the impacts of deforestation and what can be done to prevent it.
