In an international campaign with the
slogan “Let’s Plant for the Planet,”
Morocco will take part in a worldwide
mission to plant over one billion new trees
around the world. Morocco’s count: 27
million saplings.
Morocco’s Office of Forests and Water, who
receives outside funding for numerous
environmental activities, has agreed to
hire the necessary workers and find the
best places where the trees will prosper.
“I have seen new trees planted here in
Ifrane already, but I’m not sure if it is a
part of this program,” said one resident
working in the country as a professor.
The initiative was brought about in Nairobi
during the UN Convention on Climate Change.
The new program in Morocco will cover an
estimated 35,000 hectares in places that
are considered damaged. Morocco, where many
residents subside on their agricultural
production, will have to be educated about
the program and learn that the continued
planting of their forests will mean a
greener future for everyone.
