Who are we
Aura Verde LDA is a company based since 2021 in Inhambane, Mozambique with the main focus of forestation. We are a small group of people who gave up the life in the city to start what we call a long life dream, a dream of planting indigenous trees and recreate forests. We closely work with the local communities by
sourcing seeds from different areas in Mozambique, give job opportunities to local residents by teaching and engaging with them to increase the understanding that planting creates live.
The main source of income and food of local communities in the region of Inhambane are coconuts and by-products of the coconut tree. Unfortunately since many years old coconut trees are dying and we noticed that there is a need for a push to teach and engage with locals and help them to plant new coconut trees in larger areas. We sensitize the community about the need of plantations , substituting old one with new ones ny bringing the knowledge of plantation, care and monitoring of the trees and show them different options how they can use the coconut tree to reduce costs of their households and create an extra income for their families.
We cannot change yesterday, but we can change today for a better tomorrow
Nearly 4 million hectares of African forests are being cut down each year, at almost double the speed of the world’s deforestation average. We cannot Change that but for sure we can start a small change in Mozambique.
