The impact of tree planting

Tree planting has a significant impact on the environment, social welfare and economic development in communities around the world.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change and improve air quality. They also provide shade, reduce soil erosion and promote biodiversity.
In Africa, for example, tree planting has helped improve food security by providing shade for crops and preventing soil degradation. In Latin America, reforestation projects have created jobs and improved local economies. In Asia, agroforestry systems have increased farmers' incomes while promoting sustainable land use practices. In Italy, tree planting has helped restore degraded landscapes and preserve cultural heritage sites.100:12
