This year over 3893 ha is under restoration. Seven nurseries, including this one at Kuret, have been raising 711,200 seedlings for enrichment and gap filling, and they've all now been planted out. The civil unrest in Tigray is challenging for our project. According to the regional Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development (BoARD), 237 tree nurseries in Tigray have been either fully or partially destroyed as a result of the ongoing conflict in the region, but fortunately the nurseries around our project in Desa’a are among those that have survived.
