We have an ongoing tree project collaboration with a local tree nursery in the Tanga Region in the northeast of Tanzania. The nursery is in charge of all activities, including tree sapling nurturing and manual planting in the field. The project includes almost 230,700 hectares of land with 15 different individual areas. A 3-year plan gives details about where and what the nursery will plant. The local population highly appreciates this tree project.
Planting trees in a developing country is more than just a carbon offset measure. Of course, it is essential to plant as many trees as possible to filter carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. A tree project in Tanzania, for instance, primarily creates valuable jobs in regions where poverty levels are high and where there are no job opportunities. Planting trees helps them earn enough money to overcome poverty and hunger.
