An event is being held to discuss how Jersey residents can help tackle environmental problems and poverty in West Africa.
Experts from Jersey Overseas Aid (JOA), the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and the Durrell Wildlife Trust will discuss projects in Sierra Leone and Madagascar.
The projects work with forest communities to improve their income opportunities and protect the rainforest and wildlife.
The discussion will take place Tuesday at the Jersey Arts Center.
During the Fishing, Forestry and Climate-Friendly Futures event, participants will hear how Jersey financing is helping to tackle environmental degradation in West Africa.
They also hear what they can do to help closer to home.
Matt Clifton, from the RSPB, said: ‘Migratory birds such as cuckoos and nightingales often pass through Jersey as they migrate to West Africa.
“So everything we do in our backyard in Jersey, whether it’s looking after our local green spaces or advocating for nature-positive policies, can have an impact on wildlife locally and also on wildlife in West Africa. “
