For the fourth year on a row @touchlebanon is partnering with @lebanonreforestationinitiative to launch the South Social and Environmental Corridor through “touch forest 4” by planting a total of 15 ha in the areas of Qana, Ramadiyeh and Chaatiye,
touch planted 8000 seedlings in the South of Lebanon to achieve a better ecosystem stability, and in support of the National Reforestation Plan in that region.
and in the support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 15 to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and sustainably manage forests. As part of touch internal volunteering program, a group of employees took part on this full environmental day as an opportunity to give back to the country and to its environmental wellbeing.
Since its launch in 2016, touch forest initiative contributed in planting 16700 trees, thus:
- supporting the Lebanese government’s 40 million tree campaign that was launched in 2014
- involving the local communities and educating them on modern practices in reforestation - monitoring seedling survival post-planting, as well as maintenance and management activities.
Thank you @touchlebanon For letting me be a part of this initiative.
