Welcome to Green for LIFE: One Million Trees and Beyond! This website is our key channel in communicating with stakeholders, contributors, volunteers and general public. We will provide updates, features, ways to help and contribute and keep you abreast with this project.
The Green for LIFE: One Million Trees and Beyond Project serves to provide a venue for more pro-active responses to environmental issues through tree-planting activities and reforestation programs that promote the propagation and caring for indigenous species. The goal is to plant and nurture one million trees by the year 2011.
The past several decades the world has been a witness of the wanton destruction of the environment brought about by man’s greed and pride. Many a time reports hog the broadsheets and newscasts about floods, landslides, global warming, and the like, due to the progression of the imbalance of the earth’s ecosystems. In the Philippines alone, only less than a quarter remains of our old-growth forests. Deforestation seems to have taken its toll and Filipinos at large are faced with a tall order of saving whatever is left and reviving the existing, haply depleting, terrestrial and coastal ecosystems. |

Dear Stakeholders, I am pleased to announce that following the tree planting activities carried out last weekend we have managed to achieve our one million target! This has been a five year journey that started in September 2006. Through the years, we have diligently documented the planting dates, site location, species planted and quantity to ensure proper nurturing, maintenance and monitoring beyond our one million target. Hereon, we will focus on protecting what we have planted. We salute the OMT Champions who have tirelessly driven the project. We thank the donor and contributors and thousands of volunteers who have helped plant and nurture. Green for Life: One Million Trees and Beyond! Jorge C. Buenaventura Project Director |
