Nonprofit Trees for the Future (TREES) and the Arbor Day Foundation are joining forces to plant three million trees in Senegal, Chad, and Mali this year as part of a global effort to establish Africa’s Great Green Wall.
“Forests and lush landscapes are disappearing as unsustainable land use and climate change impacts continue to reshape our planet,” says Trees for the Future Director of Programs Brandy Lellou. “But with our proven solution for land restoration and exciting collaborations with partners like Arbor Day Foundation and the Great Green Wall, there is reason to be optimistic.”
The Great Green Wall is a global initiative to stop desertification in Africa’s Sahel region due to overgrazing, deforestation, climate impacts, destructive agriculture practices, and the encroaching Sahara Desert. The goal is to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land with trees and plants while also improving lives and strengthening economies.
