I hope it is being done in the right way. I don't claim to know what that is or that it isn't being done responsibly, but just planting trees isn't necessarily a good thing.
I remember the great storm of 1987 and how there was a lot of tree-planting and forest reparations done then. I heard a conservationist several years later said it did more harm than good.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic. I just wanted to add a note of caution. If it has been done well then I think it's excellent news.

The trees are being planted by Arborday foundation. I would imagine they are knowledgeable enough to understand how to do it properly. They're being planted across 150 countries with species natural to their habitat. |
