1000 Tree Planting Campaign
Karura Forest
March 2022
Green Africa Global Foundation is a non-profit NGO and a community-based organization. In a nutshell, we gather resources and distribute them amongst the vulnerable families in the community and hope to restore confidence, education, morals, and support to the people desperate of these abstracts mentioned. Moreover ,to protect and to conserve the environment in Kenya.
We have decided to take a new progressive step into contributing to the long-term wellness of nature and composition of the air by allocating a proportion of our resources towards tree planting and reforestation. We find this step to be of utmost importance taking into perspective the current detrimental effects of global warming . Tree planting is a tool used to combat global warming, air purification, future nature sustainability, random and dynamic climate changes.
According to the report of the university of south pacific, the issues Kenya is facing are a rising trend of increasing temperatures, rainfall patterns have changed as long rainy seasons have become shorter and dryer and short rainy seasons have become longer and wetter. Tree planting is a sustainable measure to keep this under control.
Global, as our name suggests, we have taken an initiative to expand our reach and make a bigger impact to the society. Taking into consideration statistical data which shows an upward trend of cumulative carbon dioxide emissions in the past 70 years in Kenya , we have developed a project which if successful, will lead to a beneficent improvement to the current CO2 emissions rate, improve oxygen production rate, mitigate drastic and extreme climate changes, protect the eco system and finally, protect the earth from global warming.
