These Climate Resilient Coffee Trees Could Save Mozambique’s Rainforest
These climate-resistant coffee trees could save Mozambique's rainforest and sustain livelihoods in one of the world’s poorest countries. Climate change is making Mozambique’s weather patterns less predictable. Droughts are increasing in frequency and severity. These coffee plants are drought-resistant, and they grow best in the shade of native trees, which means farmers have the incentive to replant and conserve the rainforest. There are now 815,000 coffee trees in the park. Farmers planted 260,000 last year alone, along with 20,000 native trees. The coffee trees provide income for 400 local farmers, 40% of whom are women.
