Aim: The Forgotten Green Heroes is a non-governmental and non-political organisation that seeks to build capacity among the local forest communities and indigenous people at home and abroad, to better engage in decision making about issues that involve them; and to improve and safeguard the livelihood, well-being and culture of the people living in and from the forest (the indigenous people and their elites where ever they are).
Objectives:
- To enable human resource development through focused training, mentoring and learning by doing approaches.
- To strengthen communication, education, awareness-raising and knowledge sharing on climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies at community levels.
- To encourage and strengthen full participation of Indigenous people and integrated approaches in planning, decision-making, implementation and monitoring of communities' interventions.
- To promote sustainable forest management, animal husbandry, aqua-culture and fruit trees planting to help eradicate hunger, alleviate poverty, ensure food security, improve livelihoods and develop communities.
