Thabiso – 25.11.2021
I believe this is a wonderful climate solution that will see the reduction of harmful alien plants and the subsequent flourishment of our natural ecosystems. Range lands are being restored which help farmers a lot and more water is retained within the environment.

DP LEBELO – 25.11.2021
This is a great idea
Palesa – 25.11.2021
This initiative is very important because invasive and alien plants are a danger to the native plants found in an environment. Alien plants spread rapidly out of control, take up all soil nutrients and water, thus starving the native plants. This will increase food insecurity and potentially have serious repercussions on the soil needed for plantation for the future if not dealt with.
David Gardner – 25.11.2021
EcoChar is a brilliant example of an SMME doing business and doing good. They are helping to prove that private businesses can contribute to climate and environmental goals without being fully funded to do so.
Fezile Matandela – 25.11.2021
Love this initiative. Taking it a step further from just securing/conserving water through the removal of thirsty alien invasives. This builds resilience to fragile ecosytems and communities.
