Tree-Nation is an ecological project with a focused objective: To plant 8 million trees in Niger, Africa to fight desertification! Large-scale plantation of trees will increase the land's productivity and re-generate the soil. By planting your tree, you are not only investing in your own future, but also the future of others.
Supported by the United Nations Environment Programme, Tree-nation is an online community in which you can buy your own tree and become the guardian of a real and happy tree that will be planted in their park in Niger.
Each tree that is planted in Niger is also planted on Nation-Tree virtual map, which you can access directly through the site. Come watch how your happy tree grows big and strong! Tree-Nation wants to show that fighting desertification is not only a good initiative that will reduce the effects of climate change, not to mention improve the lives of thousands of people, but that it can also be rewarding and fun!
