Our Projects
Tree planting is not ceremonial. It is a legal and environmental obligation rooted in public interest.
Why it matters to society:
1. Climate Regulation and Mitigation
Trees are natural carbon sinks. They sequester atmospheric CO₂, directly contributing to Cameroon’s commitments under the UNFCCC Paris Agreement and our national climate policy.
2. Ecosystem Restoration and Biodiversity
In line with Law No. 94/01 of 20 January 1994 - Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries Law, afforestation restores degraded landscapes, protects watersheds, conserves soil, and provides habitat for flora and fauna.
3. Public Health & Environmental Rights
Per Law No. 96/12 of 5 August 1996, Framework Law on Environmental Management, every citizen has a right to a healthy environment. Trees improve air quality, reduce urban heat, filter pollutants, and mitigate flood risks.
4. Socio-Economic Resilience
Forests and planted trees support livelihoods.
Timber, non-timber forest products, ecotourism, and green jobs. They are an investment in intergenerational equity.
Our Call to Action:
Planting one tree is compliance. Planting millions is survival. We urge all citizens, communities, private sector actors, and local authorities to participate in sustained reforestation and protection of existing forest cover. Environmental protection is a shared duty under Article 9 of Law 96/12.
