Take a look at one of our previous campaigns, Empowering Women to Protect the Land. It's still as relevant today as ever. In many parts of the world, women are on the front lines tending to the land and providing food and resources for their communities. However, desertification is making scarce resources scarcer. Empowering women to take part in conservation and development projects that directly affect their livelihoods can make in big impact on the well-being of their lands and communities.
