Planet talks about LIFE ONG

Reducing your carbon footprint has become an imperative in the face of the climate emergency. Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are in fact the main cause of global warming, and their impacts on the environment are becoming more and more visible. To counter this threat, it is essential to opt for more sustainable practices, whether at the individual, community or institutional level.

Planet introduces us in this article affordable actions that everyone can take to reduce their carbon footprint, as well as the initiatives led by our NGO LIFE to help meet this global challenge.

It is through the reforestation projects in our program HIS SHOOT that our NGO is very active in the fight against climate change. Reforestation is in fact a natural and effective solution for absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. In Indonesia for example, we replanted 50,000 trees, including mangroves, To restore mangroves ; a type of forest that stores five times more carbon than other forests. This action not only captures carbon, but also restores vital ecosystems, provides habitats for biodiversity and protects soils against erosion.

We also lead reforestation initiatives in Madagascar. We plant so-called “economic” trees on unexploited land, giving people the opportunity to have access to new resources such as fruits, nuts and sustainable materials while promoting biodiversity and enriching the soil. Our NGO LIFE has thus helped 200 families to plant trees on 41 hectares., contributing to their empowerment and the preservation of the environment. This type of reforestation therefore contributes to the fight against global warming, while supporting local economic development.

Finally, Through education and awareness-raising, we encourage more environmentally friendly actions in many countries.. By organizing training sessions on tree planting and nursery management in Madagascar, for example, we enable local communities to acquire sustainable know-how and transmit it to future generations.

To fight effectively against global warming, it is essential for everyone to become aware of their role and their power of action. Individual engagement, combined with community and institutional efforts, can start real change. Every choice we make today, no matter how small, contributes to building a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
