TV and online broadcasting “One tree, one inhabitant – A story of building strong roots”

TG+ (former TV Grenoble) is broadcasting the documentary on the PLATFORMAwards’ winners 2026.

In south-eastern Senegal, at the heart of the Boundou Community Nature Reserve, local communities are bearing the brunt of climate change: droughts, water scarcity, food insecurity and the exodus of young people. Yet a local initiative is bringing hope back.
Led by the Reserve Conservatory (Corena) with the support of the Department of Isère (France), the ‘One tree, one inhabitant’ project brings local people together around sustainable reforestation and innovative agroforestry practices. Every tree planted becomes a vital resource: it protects the soil, conserves water, feeds families and strengthens the self-sufficiency of villages.

Through intimate portraits, local knowledge and transnational cooperation, the film chronicles a gradual yet profound transformation. “One tree, one inhabitant | A story of building strong roots” is the story of a collective struggle and a future that is taking root, tree by tree, resident by resident.
