The major points we focus on while communicating with our stakeholders in their workplace, after discussing with them, were as follows: - Sharing and exchanging knowledge, especially the traditional knowledge of communities, learning from the elderly, on agricultural activities connected with the conservation of biodiversity: for instance, the production of compost. - Preserving traditional seeds and traditional trees and discussing the importance of seeds used as medicinal plants, as well as food for people and animals, producing pesticides, preserving Rwandan culture and practices that help to reconcile Rwandans. SUCCESS STORIES 1. We visited Mr. RUTABANA Jean Damascene, representing a group working with GER- Rwanda, who told us some of the activities they are doing in the following words: We formed an association because we want to reconcile, to unite following the bad history that befell our country, i.e., the Genocide against the Tutsi in April 1994; our association include members of all ethnic groups, i.e., people from the families of genocide survivors, and those from families involved in the Genocide. Therefore, while uniting, we were looking for a long-term solution that can help us re-unite as we needed to embrace peace-building activities, to carry out activities that do not harm our ecosystem and protect our environment, farming activities that preserve the environment, such as the cultivation of bananas, pineapples, livestock activities such as lending each other livestock (cows and pigs); which help us to build capacities for ourselves, for our families and neighbors. 2. YANKURIJE Claudine: I'm one of the young people making the Abunzubumwe association; we grouped ourselves together as young people who are looking for solutions for our problems; we carry out activities that preserve our environment, such as producing fruit trees, trees that comply with crops, and after some training, we planted some of the traditional seeds and trained other young people in High school, we planted a “Tree of Unity and Reconciliation”. We're also giving one another sheep as livestock amongst us. 3. Mukashya Dancillle: I'm grateful that our group discussions took place at my home, after the filed study we had, we continued to seek from ourselves the capacity and increase knowledge here and there to preserve our culture, use traditional tools, plant traditional fruits as well as traditional trees that were very important to our lives and culture as Rwandans. BUGESERA 1. We visited the activities of the group and spoke to Ms. MUSHIMIYIMANA Dative in Bugesera District: Our group is named “Ubumwe-buzira-mbereka” (Unity-without-double standards), we started as a young film actors, and later found that even though they were united to play a movie, they disagreed on a number of issues because some of them come from the families of genocide perpetrators and others from families of genocide survivors. Then we grouped together and bought a farmland; we grow banana to unite us, we cultivate it together, plant it, mulch it, we get together and craft some of the most valuable traditional tools (a basket is very important in our culture), we unite parents and family members of our group. We are working in high school, mobilizing them on unity. Our Sector became number one (1) in unity and reconciliation in 2022. Later, we continued to think together to find activities that help us continue to work together as a group and continued agriculture with a focus on environment conservation, capacity building, creating one of the insecticides but we introduced a variety of its species that does not harm the ecosystem, using pepper and some other appropriate traditional trees (Vernonia amigdarina, nyiramukanabi, ibibonobono, inyabarasanya, weeds) and we built our capacity to produce fertilizers using water, ash, grass, urine, cow urine. We are busy mobilizing people in activities meant to preserve our biodiversity and protect our environment. 2. UDAHEMUKA Christian said: “every day we are faced with climate changes in agricultural activities, some trees and even some of the traditional seeds are disappearing; as young people we’ve been making a nursery of agroforestry trees. We also take a look at some of the traditional trees and add them to the ones being preserved, and then give them to others for planting”. RUHANGO, GASABO and BUGESERA 1. RUHANGO, GASABO na BUGESERA. Through its ad hoc program, on August 4, 2023, GER- Rwanda came up with a long-term objective: to build lasting peace, unity and stability and improve people’s well-being, through the conservation and protection of biodiversity, indulging in the appropriate agriculture that protects the soil. Besides, in a bid to preserve our ecosystem, our rich culture, our hard-earned peace and unity, and even to celebrate the annual harvest, GER- Rwanda has helped to organize Umuganura festival for its stakeholders in 3 districts. The aim was to preserve a culture-based biodiversity through community and ecosystem resilience in
