The Forest of Resilience: The Legacy of the Mountain of Women

https://www.undp.org/eritrea/stories/fo ... tain-women

April 9, 2025

At 7 a.m., as the sun stretches over the Eritrean highlands, Wudasse Weldegherghis Zeweldi ties her netsela (traditional shawl) and steps out of her home. By 7:30 a.m., she is kneeling in the field, her fingers tracing the roots of a tree she is planting. This candid memory of hers brings her back a decade.

This was once a wasteland. Now, it's a vibrant ecosystem, teeming with life,

she proudly declares.

Wudasse, a mother of nine, recalls the years when her mornings began in darkness—grinding grain, preparing meals, and whispering promises to her children. In 2014, a designated protected area was established at "Taba Hamadae," which translates to the women's hill. This site is in the Ela Mokonen area of Bardae (Embardae) village, Ghala Nefhi, Central Region of Eritrea. When the Afforestation Project was launched, the idea of 300 women terracing a rock-strewn mountain seemed daunting. Initiated by the National Union of Eritrean Women (NUEW) in the Maekel region, Eritrea’s Ministry of Agriculture, and the UNDP/Small Grants Programme, the project aimed to rehabilitate degraded land. However, for the community, it meant far more than just land restoration.

Traditionally, women's roles were clearly defined - homemakers and caregivers. However, challenging this social structure required extraordinary courage from the women and their families. The breakthrough came through the visionary leadership of Mrs. Teblets Weldegerima, the respected community head of Embardae. With determination, she became the project's most passionate champion, personally visiting households to convince women of this transformative opportunity.

When we saw Mrs. Teblets - a leader we all admired - working side by side with us in the fields, it gave us strength,

recalls Wudasse.

Her example shattered preconceptions, inspiring women to restore the land and claim their place as environmental stewards and income-earners.

With determination and unity, the women transformed the landscape—restoring 240 kilometers of hillside terracing and nurturing 120,000 tree seedlings to life. Their work extended beyond planting; they also removed 170 destructive termite mounds, protecting the young trees.

Wudasse’s face lights up as she remembers those days.

The trucks would arrive with 6,000 saplings at a time,

she says.

Rain or scorching sun, we ensured every seedling was in the ground by sunset—our shared mission.

The women worked in shifts, singing the traditional ululation of joy at the start of each day’s labor.

The miracle extended beyond the trees. As the ecosystem was restored, the forest flourished, and 26 indigenous species, ranging from acacias to fruit-bearing shrubs, regenerated, so did the wildlife: honey badgers, hyenas, monkeys, and guinea fowl returned. Wildflowers bloomed, attracting bees—the key to the women’s next venture.

In 2024, Wudasse and 19 other women from Embarda village received 40 beehives, two hives each with beekeeping and other relevant training. Now, they sell golden jars of honey at the market, reinvesting in more hives and expanding their business.

The mountain’s rebirth altered the community’s dynamics. Farmers now harvest grass for livestock, and the catchment area is no longer clogged with silt.

Even the pythons came back,

says Senait Mehari, Head of Department Socio-economic Services at NUEW.

Nature remembered its way home.

The women became more than workers; they emerged as skilled experts. Today, the entire community protects this forest as their legacy. Now, when Wudasse visits the mountain, she runs her hands over tree trunks thicker than her arm.

When the wind moves the leaves,

she whispers,

it sounds like our laughter from those days.

The Taba Hamadae is a monument to more than just biodiversity; it is a monument to collective defiance, empowerment, and resilience. Through their unwavering determination, these women have not only transformed their environment but also redefined their roles within society.

They told us we were just planting trees,

Wudasse reflects.

But we were planting the future.

The Hamade Afforestation Project, which ran from 2014 to 2017, exemplifies the profound impact of collaboration and community initiative. Initiated through the joint efforts of the UNDP Small Grants Programme, the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Union of Eritrean Women (NUEW), and local leaders, the project successfully rehabilitated 80 hectares of degraded land, revitalized vital catchment areas, and thwarted the encroachment of alluvial fill.

Today, the legacy of the Taba Hamadae continues to inspire. It is a powerful reminder that when communities unite for a common purpose, they can overcome societal norms and barriers, creating a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. The journey of these women reflects the strength of the human spirit and the undeniable truth that change begins when individuals dare to dream and take action. In embracing their flourishing mountain, they have not only restored nature but have also reclaimed their voices, establishing a new narrative of hope, empowerment, and flourishing community life.

Jacaranda trees in Asmara, are truly are a sight to behold. Their vibrant purple-blue blossoms line the streets, especially during blooming season, usually around April and May casting a soft dreamlike hue over the city. These trees, add a romantic and almost surreal charm to Asmara’s already elegant Art Deco architecture.

There are about 600 species in Eritrea, when in the whole of Europe there are about 800.

600, of the estimated 1,000 bird species found in the Horn of Africa, live in Eritrea.

This is largely due to its unique location along a major migratory pathway, connecting the Middle East and Africa. Large concentrations of birds are found in areas like Northern Red Sea Region, the Asmara Plateau, the Dahlak Islands, and the coastal regions.

Among these species, over 280 are non-migratory, and 13 are endemic to Eritrea. An impressive 320 migratory bird species travel to Eritrea during the cold European seasons, settling in the Green Belt and coastal zones. In total, Eritrea hosts 20 endemic bird species from the Horn of Africa, such as the Wattled Ibis, Abyssinian Woodpecker, Thick-billed Raven, and Banded Barbet, alongside six nearly endemic species like the White-cheeked Turaco and White-rumped Babbler.

Eritrea is a fantastic destination for birdwatching, with top locations including the capital city Asmara, the coastal city Massawa, and the Southern Red Sea Region. The best time for birding is during the dry season, from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and migratory birds arrive, enriching the diversity.

Eritrea’s unique avian population makes it a haven for bird enthusiasts, worldwide.

Additionally, the Black-winged Pratincole—commonly seen in Asia—was not previously recorded in Eritrea until discovered by ornithologist Nigel Redman. This discovery, highlights Eritrea’s growing appeal for birdwatchers.
