Welsh charity reports on bees' role in safeguarding African forests.

A Welsh charity is set to release 50 free training films demonstrating how beekeeping can provide livelihoods while safeguarding forests in Africa. Bees for Development, based in Monmouth, is producing these videos in four African nations as part of its Nature-based Beekeeping project, funded by the UK Government's Darwin Initiative. Established in 1993, the charity collaborates with communities in Africa, Asia, and South America to promote sustainable beekeeping and alternative income sources, thereby protecting both ecosystems and livelihoods. Currently, it operates in Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda, Peru, Malawi, and Zimbabwe, tailoring projects to local needs.
