Photo Essay: Time for Nature

On this 2020 World Environment Day, we take the opportunity to highlight how BioInnovate Africa is playing a role in preserving nature:

• Bacteria from hot springs produce enzymes which process leather in an eco-friendly way

• Grasshoppers and crickets are a delicacy nourishing millions of people

• Catnip plant repels mosquitos and helps us control malaria

• Wetlands purify contaminated water and make it safe to use again

• Black Soldier Fly (BSF) produce larvae which are a rich source of protein for animal feed

• Earthworms consume organic waste to help clean-up the environment
