Why Plant Trees?
The Six Pillars of Reforestation
Air
Through their leaves and bark, trees absorb harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxide, ozone, and carbon monoxide — and sweep up particles like dust and smoke. And through the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Water
Trees play a key role in capturing rainwater and reducing the risk of natural disasters such as floods and landslides. Their intricate root systems act as filters, removing pollutants and slowing the absorption of stormwater into the soil.
Biodiversity
Many species of plants, insects, fungi, moss and wildlife depend on forests for food and shelter. Forest ecosystems encompass richly layered habitat types, which provide shelter to a breathtaking range of biodiversity — some of which can found nowhere else on earth.
Social Impact
Reforestation changes lives for the better. Food-producing trees that are grown and managed with sustainable agroforestry methods provide fruits, nuts, berries, and leaves. Over time, they can stabilize livelihoods, improve food security, and more.
Health
Trees and forests can have a powerful positive impact on our health. Aside from filtering the air we breathe, trees can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and decrease depression. In one study, hospital patients who had a view of trees healed faster.
Climate
A mature tree can absorb an average of 22 lbs of carbon dioxide per year, playing an important role in helping society mitigate the effects of climate change. Trees can also help reduce ambient temperatures by an average of 8° Celsius.
