Trees for Mhondoro is an environmental documentary short (approximately three minutes long) that focuses on the critical issue of soil erosion and land degradation in the Mhondoro region of Zimbabwe.

The film highlights a local, grassroots effort to combat this crisis by planting trees and shrubs to stabilize the soil, prevent flash flooding, and stop the spread of deep gullies caused by ecosystem damage and climate change. It showcases the collaborative spirit of villagers who are working together on this long-term project.

The documentary gained significant recognition when it was shortlisted for the Earthbeat Challenge and highlighted at COP26, demonstrating its impact on global climate change discourse by championing local solutions to environmental threats.
