He who plant a tree plant a hope. Planting trees is hugely beneficial to the world in the face of accelerating climate change.There is now a strong international scientific consensus that human activities is causing global warming. A substantial reduction in the planet’s forest cover over recent centuries is a major contributor to this climatic change.
As trees grow they absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), the main ‘green house’ responsible for global warming, thereby reducing the concentration of this gas in the atmosphere.
At local level, tree-planting on deforested lands creates further environmental benefits. Trees also reduce soil erosion, thereby conserving soil quality upstream and water quality downstream.
As part of our project, African Foundation for Climate Change and Sustainable Development (AFCCSD), is planting fifty thousand (50,000) tree seedlings of different types in five selected communities in the Kassena Nankana East Municipal in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The socio-economic benefits of this project include direct employment, infrastructure development, scales-transfer. To read about the project proposal,
