About the Project
150,000 trees will help recover degraded and deforested lands with primary forests. The project will produce 12,200 rural workdays, mostly for women, boosting the weak rural economy. These trees will absorb 3 million kg of atmospheric carbon annually when mature. The plantation project will also help decarbonize and battle climate change.
