    Such a beautiful story from Senegal. In his report, Bassirou keeps on mentioning the word 'gereb', which all the way across the Sahel to my beautiful country Eritrea also means 'tree' or 'forest' in our language. In the meanwhile, I bought some pretty large barren land in Rwanda and we are in the process of turning it into a food forest. As Bassirou said: "you will not be the only one eating from it". That is the spirit our world needs and I am so grateful that Ecosia, Trees for the Future and many souls worldwide are leading this revolution for Mother Earth and humanity. Much love!

    "In 50 years, everyone will say that was the work of Bassirou Seck" Truly inspiring! What an amazing start, just in 5 years the change was so impressive, I can't imagine how it will look in 50 years ❤

    @b_uppy Před 8 měsíci +10

    Planting to imitate savanna in currently barren flatlands, reintroducing trees (forests) to hilltops is an important task. Making sure they are polycultures to ensure health and food resiliency is equally important.
    Mark Shepard's restoration ag is a good model for just about everywhere.

    That's amazing! All that growth in 5 years! I would love to know what all the trees are. I hope they get to have more woods like these in their community. I live in Wales where we have lots of woods, but we lose trees to storms that are becoming more frequent. The more, denser woods you have, they protect each other from high winds & flooding. So i hope the green area expands to give it more resilience

    It seem that giving to charities changes little, but supporting projects like this will change the world I think. A seemingly simple concept that can be undertaken communally or even individually, but requiring dedication, can be so transformative. Exceptional.

  • @davebloggs

    Now you need to get the other land owners to do the same thing and the trees will do their magic. great video. I have planted thousands of trees over the years many now are huge, we are all in this world for a short time but the trees will live on as memories of the person that planted them. plant trees and enjoy their shade it is such a simple thing for people to do.

  • @KJSvitko
    @KJSvitko Před 8 měsíci +3

    Ecosia needs to provide electric cargo bicycles and a small solar panel set up to charge the batteries to its people doing the planting. I am sure some other non profits would be will to team up with Ecosia and provide them for free or at a reduced price.

    I have a few small trees I planted in my tiny South Wales garden & recently took part in a tree planting session with Coed Caerdydd - Cardiff Trees - planting hundreds of mixed saplings adjoining nearby woodland as a volunteer with two classes from local schools & our local council Parks Department.
    When they have their own children in the future those kids will be able to show them the woodland they planted themselves. They loved every muddy minute of it & so did I!
