The Race for Trees

The Race for Trees refers to the global competition and urgency to plant and preserve trees to combat climate change, enhance biodiversity, and restore ecosystems. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, and provide vital habitats for wildlife. Many governments, organizations, and communities engage in initiatives to increase tree cover, recognizing its importance for environmental health and climate resilience. As urbanization and deforestation threaten forests, the race highlights the need for collaborative efforts to plant millions of trees, raise public awareness, and engage in sustainable practices to secure a greener future.
