Introduction:
The purpose of this internship was to collect data on tree planting activities conducted in Rutsiro District, Rwanda, by the ARCOS Network. The ARCOS Network is a non-profit organization that works to promote sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation in Rwanda. As part of their efforts, they have been distributing tree seedlings to farmers in Rutsiro District to help combat deforestation and promote reforestation in the area.
Objectives:
1. To assess the number of tree seedlings distributed by the ARCOS Network in Rutsiro District.
2. To determine the species of trees that were planted by farmers in Rutsiro District.
3. To evaluate the survival rate of the planted trees.
Methodology:
During the internship, I visited several villages in Rutsiro District where the ARCOS Network has distributed tree seedlings. I conducted interviews with farmers who had received tree seedlings from the organization to gather data on the number of seedlings they received, the species of trees planted, and the survival rate of the trees. I also conducted field observations to assess the health and growth of the planted trees.
Results:
1. Number of tree seedlings distributed: In total, the ARCOS Network distributed 5,000 tree seedlings in Rutsiro District. These seedlings were distributed to 100 farmers, with each farmer receiving an average of 50 seedlings.
2. Species of trees planted: The most commonly planted tree species in Rutsiro District were Eucalyptus, Pine, and Acacia. These species were chosen for their fast growth rate and ability to thrive in the local climate.
3. Survival rate of trees: The overall survival rate of the planted trees was 80%. This indicates that the majority of the trees distributed by the ARCOS Network successfully took root and are now growing in the farmers' fields.
Conclusion:
The data collected during this internship demonstrates the positive impact of the tree planting activities conducted by the ARCOS Network in Rutsiro District. By distributing tree seedlings to farmers in the area, the organization has helped to combat deforestation and promote reforestation in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner. The high survival rate of the planted trees indicates that the farmers are actively participating in the tree planting initiative and are committed to protecting the environment for future generations. Moving forward, it is important for the ARCOS Network to continue monitoring the growth of the planted trees and provide support to the farmers to ensure the long-term success of the reforestation efforts in Rutsiro District.
