🌲Reforestation

The forest is the lungs of our world. It is essential to the sustainability of our planet and offers wonderful benefits:

• A solution against climate change Thanks to its role as a thermal regulator, the forest is the best solution to climate change. Within the forest itself, the foliage reduces the brightness of the undergrowth, keeps the air moist, but also allows CO2 to be stored and fixed. Their impact on the climate is therefore decisive, since they reduce greenhouse gases and could possibly keep the global temperature rise below 2°C.

• An oxygen generator In addition to storing and fixing CO2, trees release O2, the oxygen we need to survive. Trees are therefore oxygen generators, without which we could not live, and are therefore assets against pollution.

• A habitat for biodiversity Forests are the habitat of 80% of the earth's animal biodiversity: animal, plant and fungal species find refuge in the shade of trees, which provide them with everything they need thanks to their water and soil purification capacities.

Unfortunately, according to the new UN report, the world's forests have lost "almost 100 million hectares" in 2 decades, with forest area "steadily declining". In figures, the proportion of forests to the world's land surface has fallen to 31.2% in 2020, down from 31.5% in 2010 and 31.9% in 2000.

To avoid the worst, we must act as quickly as possible. On the one hand, by fighting against massive deforestation, and on the other hand by reforesting our forests. Indeed, reforestation is the only solution that will enable us to restore the millions of hectares of forest that have been destroyed.

Thus, in 2014, at the United Nations Climate Summit, the following objective was set: to reforest 350 million hectares before 2030. These measures have now been endorsed by more than 100 governments, civil society organisations and companies, and commitments to restore and plant have been made by 43 countries.
