Large scale destruction of trees, deforestation affects ecosystems, climate, and even increases risk for zoonotic diseases spreading to humans. Forests cover about 30 percent of the planet's land mass, but humans are cutting them down, clearing these essential habitats on a massive scale (National Geographic). This project is raising funds to purchase 100 indigenous trees to plant at a township school. To mitigate the effects of deforestation on the climate, ecosystems and soil erosion.
This project will prevent soil erosion, decrease the effects of carbon emissions and climate change, provide education on biodiversity and ecosystems to youth and provide a healthy play area for children in the townships.
There are currently no indigenous trees in this township this project will reintroduce indigenous trees to the local area.
The long-term impact of this project has major benefits by contributing to the reduction of soil erosion, impacts on native species and degradation of habitats, as well as making a significant contribution to combatting climate change. Our earth forests also act as a natural filter for the air and surrounding water sources which helps to stop air pollution and keep water sources safe for drinking By taking Action Now to Change the Future we can save our Earth!
