Hello,
What you proposed through your organisation is to plant trees that have been cut.
Can you tell me the different used of the cut trees ? (heat, building, ....) and the proportions ?
Can you also tell me how you can be sure that the trees planted will not be cut one year later ?
Can you supply me the CO2 absorbed and emitted by tree about their age ?

Thank you,
Rémi

Hi rafikis. How is everything going?
I would like to support the project and keep planting more trees. Before doing that I have some doubts:
Is posible to follow the tree plantations I support? What trees species are more useful or needed right now for planting?
Thanks and congrats for the project. Keep it on!

I am reading your questions with great Interest, thank you for following up our Usambara Biodiversity Conservation project via this unique Tree Nation Platform. Indeed the world need people like you to reforest the Planet “ Thank you” Yes you can make follow up for the tree you are planting with us via this platform, you will be provided with GPS Coordinates of the specific planting sites when planting with us on Tree Nation Platform, However your even most welcome to Tanzania to make due diligence visit to our project, you can always right us direct but Tree Nation Management team will help to organize this.
Our tree Planting project has learning platform for the students though youth development project, we have school tree nurseries where the kids learn-by-doing about trees and horticulture as they do their part in the climate crisis. The native trees planted in Forest Reserves help to preserve biodiversity in the Eastern Arc Mountains biodiversity hot spot. Trees grown in woodlots for domestic uses keep people out of the Forest Reserves. Trees given to subsistence farmers to plant in agroforestry help them to produce a surplus that can improve family nutrition such as Mango trees, Ovacado, Papaya as well as Moringe oleifera, that can be sold at market to help them to graduate from extreme poverty. The trees provide erosion control, which is so important because of the massive deforestation. There are many other good reasons to plant trees down here.Species we are planting includes native such Makhamea lutea,Ocotoea usambariansis, Ficus, Crotton Megalocapus which are good for restoring African rain Forest, exotic for business oriented while other species are good for Agroforestry, kindly find the link showing the status of FoU Tree Nurseries 2020; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxdvan1VyaM
