Tree Plantation Campaign to combat Climate Change

Gen4Trees: Green War Green is Freedom
Context
Tree plantation is one of the most effective tools as trees help to combat global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide, removing and storing carbon while releasing oxygen back into the air. As trees also reduce wind speeds and cool the air as they lose moisture and reflect heat upwards from their leaves. It’s estimated that trees can reduce the temperature in a city by up to 7°C. Other environmental benefits include the fact they help to prevent flooding, landslides and soil erosion, by absorbing thousands of liters of storm water.
Trees and forests also play important roles in reducing landslide risk through various mechanisms. Tree roots reinforce soil layers, anchor the soil to bedrock and form buttresses against soil movement. Trees also reduce landslide risk by lowering soil moisture levels – interception, evaporation and transpiration are the primary mechanisms. These mechanisms, and others, also make trees valuable in land reclamation following landslides. Furthermore, trees help to reduce soil erosion and can form an effective barrier against rock, debris and soil slips, as well as limiting landslide run-out distance.
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. The country is suffering for sea level rise, higher temperatures, enhanced monsoon precipitation, and an increase in cyclone intensity, These impacts are extremely detrimental to the economy, the environment, national development, and the people of Bangladesh. Besides, Bangladesh air pollution has increased excessive level for constructions. Clean air is now a dream and people are suffering acute disease for such air pollution.
In this background, Global Law Thinkers Society GLTS has started Tree Plantation Campaign “Gen4Trees: Green War Green is Freedom”, inspired by the freedom fighting and Independence of Bangladesh. “Green Guardians” will protect and restore environment and “Tree Guardians” protect Trees.
Mass tree plantation is the easiest and quickest solution to fight climate change and restore environment.
Engaging young and youth we can transform Bangladesh and the World into a greener country. Also we can create awareness for environment and engage mass people for climate action

IMPACT AND MILEAGE FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Together we can plant roots for tomorrow. Your involvement as the ―Strategic Partner can turn the tide of deforestation and help us protect and expand greeneries in our cities before they shrink even further. You’ll do more than put a seed in the ground—you’ll make sure these habitats can survive for future generations.
Your logo will be used in all our promotional tools. In the event we will announce the name of you/company and as well help to disseminate the news in various media houses for the collaboration. Also we will publish the news and article in all our social media.
We will also award and give title of “Tree Guardian” or “Green Guardian” based on contribution and participation
We expect participants and guests from different work of life in our tree plantation event.
