↠ Talking about millions...did you know that there are only two Northern white rhinos left in the world? https://youtu.be/rqjVusKfIDU

Reforestation is a hot topic at the moment. But while we know that trees help store the carbon damaging our planet, is planting millions of new ones really the answer?

We explore how monoculture plantations can harm the environment, and introduce an innovative project in Kenya that safeguards local forests and benefits the population.
