Jane Goodall Drives To Make Earth Green Again By Planting 5 Million Trees

Earth is in danger but most of us are too far away to hear its cry. The Amazon Wildfires and Australian Bushfires burned our woodlands. So it was time to up the stakes and plant those woods again. Dr. Jane Goodall along with the United Nations Environment Program is on a march to plant 1 trillion trees by the end of the decade.

You think that is ambitious? Then listen to this- of the 1 trillion trees the citizens are being encouraged to contribute to, Dr. Jane Goodall plans to plant 5 million trees herself. If that was not enough then here’s more. She intends to finish this project by the end of 2020. Not bad for an 85-year-old environmental activist, is it?

On her Jane Goodall Institute post, she wrote, “[1 Trillion Trees] offers innovative technologies which will serve to connect tens of thousands of small and large groups around the world that are engaged in tree planting and forest restoration. Creating this ‘greening global community’, will allow for sharing critically needed funding and best practices — just what is needed to achieve the trillion trees goal in ten years. Toward this [1 Trillion Trees] goal, I am proud to announce that our Roots & Shoots program, which empowers young people in 60 countries, has committed to planting over 5 million new trees over the coming year. Now is the time for everyone on the planet to do their part.”

The Jane Goodall Institute has been a leading name in ecosystem regeneration and conservation. The institute has been a pioneer at a global level in restoring and maintaining ecological balance through its plantation initiatives.

Their Roots and Shoots program targets young global citizens. It works to make them aware of their responsibility towards their ecosystem. The environmentally aware members are asked to participate at the base level- of planting and taking care of trees.
