Why we are planting trees:  

AIR

Trees act as natural air purifiers, absorbing particulate pollutants and carbon dioxide, and releasing clean oxygen for us to breathe.

WATER

Forests play a vital role in maintaining drinking water resources by regulating water cycles, absorbing stormwater, and preventing soil erosion.

HEALTH

Healthy trees and forests enhance public health by reducing exposure to air and water pollution and providing habitats that support diverse ecosystems.

SOCIAL IMPACT

Communities benefit from reforestation projects through improved livelihoods, increased access to resources, and sustainable development.

CLIMATE

Trees play a critical role in the fight against climate change, as they trap carbon dioxide and increase the climate change resilience of ecosystems and communities.

BIODIVERSITY

Forests support diverse flora and fauna, contributing to the richness and resilience of our ecosystems.
