Environmental Protection Trainings and Development Organization (EPTDO) is a non-profit NGO focusing on climate change resilience, livelihood and agriculture development, gender equality and inclusion, biodiversity conservation, and other ecological issues. EPTDO aims to achieve this by getting communities involved in a variety of programs, for example, greeneries supported by Geographic Information (GIS) and GPS technology. Employing technology to aid in the maintenance of greeneries empowers the workers to engage in land restoration and climate change mitigation activities while earning a decent living. Projects like this are how EPTDO takes a multi-faceted approach to tackling the problems stemming from climate change, land degradation, and inequality.
