Thanks a lot for sharing this. We are just about to write down research proposal in this field. Our goal is actually to save and restore Abongphen Highland Forest in NW Region of Cameroon which is one of the most important watershed areas in the region and it also belongs to biodiversity hotspots where hundreds of endemic species are found. Unfortunately, the mountain area with thousands of springs has been strongly degraded by agriculture using a combination of slush burning approach with a lot of chemicals (fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides). People use it directly in spring areas. The area is supplying drinking water directly for 100,000 people. Indirectly to million of them. We would like to know the effect of water pollution on people's health living in surrounding areas.
That is why we decided to save and restore the forest. If you are more interested you could find more information on our steemit profile or http://www.kedjom-keku.com
We are also trying to use steemit as a great fundraising opportunity and besides author and curations rewards we have voting bot @treeplanter. So you can also plant trees with us.
Thanks a lot.
Nice day.
