Of this number, 102,842 were planted in Jrashen I where we had done our first large afforestation project in 2021. This area is not the most ideal site for afforestation, and part of the seedlings did not catch. So the main goal of this planting was to complement and replace the unsuccessful plantings: as we always repeat, our goal is not to plant trees but to create a forest. For that, we need to do constant monitoring, maintenance and replant where needed to ensure a real forest takes hold.

Still, about 120 people participated in planting and received an income during two weeks. This is also an important source of income for these families in villages where there are little job opportunities.

The other area where we planted this spring is Lernajur III, a new area of 10 ha that we fenced and planted with 11,732 trees.
 We have planted less than last year because we started planting later due to a late winter, but also because of the cancellation of a big project for 2024.

More than ever your support is necessary to expand on these numbers. We all need to participate in order to create conditions that will allow a liveable country for future generations. Please consider donating now to help us accomplish our work.
