IBU Biathlon Climate Challenge making great start in tree-planting mission Tuesday, 11 May 2021
The International Biathlon Union (IBU) claims participants in the Biathlon Climate Challenge are on track to planting 50,000 trees by the middle of this month courtesy of their lung-busting efforts.
Almost 7,500 people are said to have joined 10 team leaders in taking on the climate action initiative since it launched on May 1.
Participants have been challenged to track their physical activity in a fitness app which will convert distance they have covered or calories they have burned into trees to be planted by a reforestation project.
With the overall aim of planting 100,000 trees, the IBU believes it has made a great start towards reaching that goal.
