Rebuilding Ethiopia 's Forests
Ethiopia, once known as the “Green Gold of Africa”, has faced significant deforestation challenges. This has led to soil erosion, decreased agricultural productivity, and reduced water availability. Our tree planting initiatives in Ethiopia focus on restoring native forests, improving soil health, and promoting sustainable land management practices for a more resilient future.
Why Restore in Ethiopia ?
Combating climate change
Ethiopia is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, and deforestation has been a major problem. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, so planting them helps reduce Ethiopias carbon footprint.
Restoring degraded land
Decades of deforestation and overgrazing have damaged a lot of Ethiopian land. Planting trees helps prevent soil erosion and improve soil fertility, making the land more productive again.
Water conservation
Trees help regulate the water cycle, by releasing water vapor into the atmosphere and reducing evaporation from the soil. This can help alleviate drought conditions in Ethiopia.
