Our success not only protected the health of the forest, wildlife and people, but also proved that community-based rainforest conservation was possible. Be bold. And together, we can change the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1585786806436-TRUDLCHETC2IKJFCMLTY/melesi%2Bmingi.jpg Home https://www.gcearth.org/wildlife-protection daily 0.75 2020-05-28 https://www.gcearth.org/sustainable-livelihoods daily 0.75 2020-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1588097756399-HAWHGNIBTC0COME0XTVA/wssustainablelivelihoods.jpg sustainable livelihood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590903310742-SWHYY7L8RC7ZAOF9X4JM/image-asset.jpeg sustainable livelihood - Sustainable Subsistence Farming Photo by beingbonny/iStock / Getty Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590355204515-X4KKTA2JC4N4BD0UJK5P/wswaterteam.jpg sustainable livelihood - Deep Well Water Installation & Repair The GCE Water Team is a group of villagers from Ikoko Bonginde who have been trained and equipped with the Village Drill technology. The team is employable regionally for well installations, repair, and maintenance. GCE has provided all equipment, training, and employment to the Water Team for all 17 well installations and continues to employ the team for well maintenance. The GCE Water Team can install wells at a greatly reduced cost compared to standard “big rig” well installations. Additionally, their expertise in well maintenance ensures long-term success rates for clean water initiatives in the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590672397070-XHIY4NFR24QOENDYSPGD/wscacao.JPG sustainable livelihood - Cacao Cultivation Go Conscious Earth supports farmers in growing sustainable cocao thereby improving and investing in their family’s and community’s future livelihoods. Cacao cultivation is an ideal, marketable, non-timber forest product, as it grows beneath the forest canopy. Farmers are trained in good agricultural and fair trade practices to increase yields and quality. We also address social challenges, including the empowerment of marginalized people such as women and aboriginal communities, as well as addressing harmful child labor practices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590944084077-TP9LKR9FPQUTMI98FU5H/rocketstove.jpg sustainable livelihood - Fuel Efficient Stoves Deforestation is one of the largest contributors to climate change and habitat loss for endangered species. And in poverty stricken areas, wood cutting for cooking fuel is especially necessary for human communities. Go Conscious Earth works with communities to eliminate deforestation within their community forests. Part of our efforts include burning fuel more efficiently. We teach how to build and cook with “rocket” stoves, a type of stove that offers near complete combustion of scrap wood and small branches considered far too small to call firewood. Rocket stoves are extremely efficient and burn ultra-clean. Built from common, readily available materials, they also reduce air pollution while decreasing harm to the lungs of women and children, who typically gather around dirty-burning conventional stoves while cooking. And because women and children are responsible for firewood gathering, this type of stove allows them to focus instead on more important activities such as increasing yields on sustainable farms, thereby serving to eradicate poverty and allow the conservation of the natural world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590672862592-UZBP1IYFZ37I6V62LH3S/wsfishfarming.JPG sustainable livelihood - Fish Farming Sustainable fish farming is the solution to overfishing in Lake Tumba. Fish populations there are plummeting due to introduction and overuse of fine mesh nets which scoop up everything in the lake including vulnerable juveniles which used to avoid capture in traditional handmade nets. Long-term sustainable income generation is also possible with this endeavor, as a new sustainably grown and harvested product hits local markets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590903361058-N5HHGDK742OGE8GSU2UF/image-asset.jpeg sustainable livelihood - Bees and Honey Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images News / Getty Images https://www.gcearth.org/community-forestry daily 0.75 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590496513778-HJCRDKLWDBRPCCZQTCGQ/CGEwoodhaulRT.jpg Community Forestry - An Unprecedented Opportunity In 2016, the Democratic Republic of Congo established the national Local Community Forest Concession (LCFC) program which offers forest-dependent people the right to manage their own lands and natural resources - in perpetuity - according to their own lifeways, customs, and traditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1586200524559-7TXYIJ16E2UPKGFJSC3N/WSlola-ya-bonobo-2139532_960_720.jpg Community Forestry - Community Forests Can Ensure the Health of Wild Places When local and indigenous people are empowered to preserve their forests, the health of our whole planet is protected. When forests remain standing, wild animals continue to roam in their natural habitats, watersheds remain clean, and climate remains stable as carbon is safely stored in vegetation and in the ground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1586198570954-F1AASDARHBEAPTBF4XVG/wskids-2.jpg Community Forestry - Imagining a Future… In the Congo Basin Rainforest, local communities and indigenous people have historically been subjected to perpetual instability as large scale logging, commercial agriculture, and even traditional models of wildlife conservation have forced them off of their ancestral lands. When granted legal recognition - in perpetuity - to the lands they have occupied for many generations, the relationship they have to their lands drastically shifts as they realize the opportunity to make investments and vision toward their futures. https://www.gcearth.org/newsletter daily 0.75 2020-03-28 https://www.gcearth.org/give-monthly daily 0.75 2020-04-08 https://www.gcearth.org/batwa-people daily 0.75 2020-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590678858179-1C6A15IK3EPR1ZFGU0ZC/wspygmybackpackRT.jpg batwa people https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590678884740-D66WVC73KNG8E6XLUJ8B/wspygmymatRT.png batwa people https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590678906959-NSQ9ZLCJNT22HBC8FLIS/wspygmybasketRT.jpg batwa people https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590678935672-9VBZ04BJJ1FFCAE1GB3I/wspygmybaskets_babiesRT.png batwa people https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590937467513-FKY0MMNWN1Y8H4DHU229/shutterstock_355161908.jpg batwa people https://www.gcearth.org/climate-change daily 0.75 2020-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590903737870-NSK2KCCA7JC2YXNXKBVD/image-asset.jpeg Climate Change https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590903777497-SUQF8RFPY1R0W3M8N8NF/image-asset.jpeg Climate Change https://www.gcearth.org/congo-basin daily 0.75 2023-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590900584494-0JFSKL6BYQ9E0OE9MO4Q/wscrb.jpg The Congo Basin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1587755024674-SNHSFY8KJTLJU6U4DYG7/image-asset.jpeg The Congo Basin - Aboveground Carbon Stores Carbon stored in the DRC's portion of the Basin exists in a matrix of both living, aboveground forest vegetation, and partially decomposed belowground vegetable matter in the form of peat. DRC's aboveground forests safely store 24 billion tonnes of carbon locked in vegetation, which amounts to 88 billion tonnes that could be released into the atmosphere if the forests are cut or destroyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590901279685-8HLCJQETG8AZ886GV5TK/wspeatlands.jpg The Congo Basin - Below Ground Carbon Stores The DRC boasts over half of the world’s largest belowground carbon stock, stored in the vitally important Cuvette Central Peatland Complex. Cuvette is a world jewel, containing 30 percent of the world's tropical carbon, and holding soil stocks equivalent to the aboveground vegetation of the entire Congo Basin Rainforest spanning six African nations! Accumulated over 10,600 years, Cuvette stores 33 billion tonnes of carbon - an amount equivalent to twenty years of U.S. fossil fuel emissions! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1588113185200-3K4HLI6ZTUZK0AHHSW1J/shutterstock_349304.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1587758480835-NS4Y0KOPCTC3LT0DRQ2Q/wsdeforestation.jpg The Congo Basin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590937294187-F9GLFALPE64B8X8YWCSW/wselephanttourism.jpg The Congo Basin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1587758951609-7IUQ0UDIMLYLR1P0SLSZ/comlogs2.jpg The Congo Basin https://www.gcearth.org/rainforest-conservation daily 0.75 2020-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1588435103036-S5HVUMHL4F0WW2CRIHQA/DSCN1251.jpg Rainforest Conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1588435231456-PA084EDZ8T8J72VINIRV/DSCN2509.JPG Rainforest Conservation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590902235611-OYQMKXRY2AHDH35JP6UP/image-asset.jpeg Rainforest Conservation - Our Inclusive and Participatory Approach Go Conscious Earth works within a framework that proves community-based conservation is best for both forests and wildlife. We work with communities that want to protect their lands. We support policies that insist on full and prior informed consent, inclusive of all people within a community forest. We encourage participatory mapping, inclusive conservation planning and monitoring, and we always honor traditional life ways and cultures in our approach.

By supporting relationships within and between communities, as well as endangered wildlife species, and their shared placement within whole ecosystems, conservation goals are not only more easily met, but people are empowered to serve positive changes within their communities. Village networks are strengthened, and the future grows brighter.

We’ve created jobs for local people and the ability to build hundreds of high quality drilled wells at a fraction of the cost of conventional well drilling in the DRC. Simultaneously, the Water Team serves to maintain the functionality of existing wells, setting our project apart from many other clean water initiatives with poor long-term success. https://www.gcearth.org/cuvette-peatlands daily 0.75 2020-04-08 https://www.gcearth.org/support daily 0.75 2024-10-29 https://www.gcearth.org/corporate-sponsorship daily 0.75 2020-05-02 https://www.gcearth.org/gift-estate-planning daily 0.75 2020-04-08 https://www.gcearth.org/team daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/4cd0d754-40de-4106-b8d8-22d4a4aa2d64/Tess+headshot.jpg Our Team -

This image is inspired by the creation story I was told by my grandmothers. The story of IYANZANGUBA, which means, the Turtle. IYANZANGUBA, the Turtle, is the Mother of all Creation. She gave birth to all living creatures, carrying the earth, the land, on her back just as all mothers carry their children on their bodies. IYANZANGUBA is a good Mother, always giving her love and care for all. My mother, Nsaba Koko’s final request to me was to protect our ancestral lands, the trees, nature, and wildlife. Her memory and continued inspiration is present in this image, as well as my determination to always do my best to protect and preserve the stories and the culture of my people. Koko loved the forest and the animals of our home, just like IYANZANGUBA loves the whole earth.” -Godi Godar, Go Conscious Earth Founder and member of the Ntomba community, Lake Tumba, DRC https://www.gcearth.org/bantu-communities daily 0.75 2020-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590622076051-7BVQ4WYB4NAQY97T5LTS/wslaketumba8.jpg Bantu Communities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590623387737-GK7ACM8VSTAH9X9G74BT/wsfishinghutwkid.jpg Bantu Communities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590896550103-XRD4P4OIE4PSODDLG4GT/wsvillage%252Bkids.jpg Bantu Communities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590896500854-GAE9KCQR9R43LIBQ606R/wsvillagepeople.jpg Bantu Communities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1590626639717-C5HNIWK5RQGQTSCI5OM4/DSCN2314.JPG Bantu Communities https://www.gcearth.org/advisory-council daily 0.75 2023-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1603164747074-35Q38Z17IXOAJWJD7S1O/MichaelPhilipp.jpg advisory council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/1603164830133-ZMVGGDAPXPML5IXS2UEK/julieclaussen.jpg advisory council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/458201f6-801b-4eac-97e0-fafda104f82b/Tim.jpg advisory council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e78ff619ba0607a8f2f0e4c/35afab3f-2516-446f-b04e-492ef1911167/Dechen.jpg advisory council -
