Suara Indonesia News - American Forests is proud to announce it is a partner in the United Nations Environment Programme’s Billion Tree Campaign. The campaign, which targets climate change by encouraging the planting of at least a billion trees a year, is supported by Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai and HSH Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco.
Every dollar contributed to American Forests in support of the Billion Tree Campaign will plant one tree in a Global ReLeaf Forest.
“American Forests is proud to offer its many tree-planting supporters the option of contributing to the Billion Tree Campaign,” Executive Director Deborah Gangloff said. “If we all do our part for the environment, we can grow a healthier world with trees.”
She added that she was particularly delighted to be working again with Maathai, who has been honored by American Forests in the past for her work with Kenya’s Green Belt Movement, and with HSH Sovereign Prince Albert, who has planted trees in New York City with American Forests in honor of the victims of 9-11.
American Forests’ Global ReLeaf Forests program plants native species in forest ecosystems damaged or destroyed by human or natural causes. More than 25 million trees have been planted in Global ReLeaf Forests in the United States and 22 other countries.
The idea for Plant for the Planet: The Billion Tree Campaign was inspired by Professor Maathai who is co-patron along with the Prince. When a corporate group in the United States told Professor Maathai it was planning to plant a million trees, her response was: “That’s great, but what we really need is to plant a billion trees.”
