Big businesses have pledged to plant trees and restore ecosystems, but there is little accountability for their actions. The pledges are often vague, unverified, and lack scientific rigor. This could undermine the efforts of genuine conservationists and create a false sense of progress.

India has a long history of tree planting. A study examines the outcomes of these projects and their impacts on the environment and society. It reveals that tree planting in India was not always beneficial, as it often involved the displacement of indigenous communities, the loss of biodiversity, and the promotion of exotic species.

@davidho we wouldn’t need if we didn’t cut down in the first place: forests & ancient naturally regenerate, thank you very much. As for the weakling shit dried-up branches projects brandish as actual , surprise surprise, HALF die within 5 years and those that survive are earmarked for . There is actually NO measured goal of tree survival or number of mature trees in those projects. ig.ft.com/one-trillion-trees/

Anyone have experience planting Black Cherry Plum trees (prunus cerasifera 'nigra')? Thinking about trying to track one down to replace a redbud tree that got destroyed in a recent storm.

The biggest funders & marketers of as a goal are actually & corporations. They know telling ppl they'll plant a ton of trees or lying about cleanups helps their laundry.

You're dumb ASF to believe it. You can plant 50 million trees - most won't survive. Ancient have essential to planetary survival for all living beings. Abandoned wells poison, still.

"Without wishing to detract from the selfless work put into this reserve by volunteers, the introduction of alien strains of NZ plants to scenic reserves generally is biologically unacceptable, and the resulting vegetation is counterfeit."

"Re-introduction of former species should only be undertaken when there is a specific need — perhaps to save a species from extinction"

Botanist Geoff Kelly in *1971* on planting non-local native plants in a forest reserve.

It's been three years since I co-founded Protect Earth, a U.K. reforestation and climate action charity, and I've learned so much. Consider this a quick Frequently Asked Questions of tree planting, how and why certain things are done certain ways, etc.

Feel free to ask any questions about any of it if things aren't covered in depth enough.

This week we planted 500 new trees in East Pilton Park with an enthusiastic team of volunteers from @amazon, creating three new woodland compartments in the park. We can't wait to see them grow!

"But there’s a lot of stored in the in and we have to be aware of that." To establish storage banks of carbon, these forests have to be kept — as opposed to harvested like spruce — potentially for a very long time, so we don’t disturb the soils. "The less disturbance there is to the forest the less carbon is lost out of the system."
