We cut forests on this planet as if we have other to go on.
Big empires in history treated land forest as resources and not as something that is necessary to coexist with.
Lately more and more people realize that the act of few companies governments mafias affect us all. Some try to reverse the destruction while other continue to have policies and money toward that that cause the depleating the land of soil water and bio diversity.
We are going to focus on the positive example that can be followed on a bigger scale, because we believe that the forest should have the right to live and coexist with human society.
Groasis Water Box www.groasis.com
Groasis participates in the Life+ "The Green Deserts" project. This project takes 5 years of investigation with 32,000 Groasis Waterboxxes. They cooperate with six Spanish partners and one Belgium partner. They plant on 7 extreme places in Spain. It is extreme hot, extreme cold, extreme dry, extreme rocky, they suffer from extreme winds and they plant on extreme slopes of mine sites. The experiments are done under the supervision of the University of Valladolid.
Africa "Great Green Wall"
The plan to build a five thousand mile band of trees across the Africa begins in Senegal, where trees are already being planted.
Permaculture Jordan Desert
Geoff Lawton went to the Jordanian ( 2 km of the place where Jesus was crucified) desert in 2001 and turned a ten acre bit of desert and turned it into a orchard.if this can be done in the Jordanian desert imagine what can be achieved not just in the United Kingdom but everywhere.
Much of the world’s tropical rainforests have either been cut down or are directly threatened with imminent deforestation. Deforestation and forest degradation have resulted in species loss and direct contribution to global warming.
Moreover, deforestation accounts for over 20 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions – more than the entire global transportation sector! Our reforestation and avoided deforestation offset projects meet the toughest industry standards.
Forestry projects absorb carbon emissions for years and decades into the future.

Reforestation & Avoided Deforestation Projects
Reforestation and forest preservation carbon offset projects are part of the global warming solution. Forest-based carbon offset projects fight climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere in trees and soil and have many co-benefits for the community and local wildlife. Forest preservation creates jobs, maintains and expands wildlife habitats, protects biodiversity, and improves local environmental quality.Much of the world’s tropical rainforests have either been cut down or are directly threatened with imminent deforestation. Deforestation and forest degradation have resulted in species loss and direct contribution to global warming.
Moreover, deforestation accounts for over 20 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions – more than the entire global transportation sector! Our reforestation and avoided deforestation offset projects meet the toughest industry standards.

Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley Reforestation Initiative USA
The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley Reforestation Initiative aims to
reforest at least one million acres throughout Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Illinois. Considered North
America's rainforest, this region is a vital habitat for migratory birds
and numerous plant and animal species. The project will also sequester
CO2 emissions. Previously encompassing 22 million acres of
temperate forest, the region now holds only four million acres of
unfarmed forestland.
Trees for the Future
Started in 1989 by Grace and Dave Deppner, Trees for the Future works
with communities in Central America, South America, Africa and Asia to
incorporate tree planting into their agricultural activities
Trees for the Future is a Maryland-based nonprofit organization
founded in 1989 that helps communities around the world plant trees.
Through seed distribution, agroforestry
training, and in-country technical assistance, it has empowered rural
groups to restore tree cover to their lands, protect the environment and
help to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations.
China
China has seen 3,600 km2 (1,400 sq mi) of grassland overtaken every year by the Gobi Desert.
.Each year dust storms blow off as much as 2,000 km2 (800 sq mi) of topsoil,
and the storms are increasing in severity each year. These storms also
have serious agricultural effects for other nearby countries, such as Japan, North Korea, and South Korea.
The Green Wall project was begun in 1978, with the proposed end result
of raising northern China’s forest cover from 5 to 15 percent and thereby reducing desertification.
