The tree plantation projects that are situated throughout Asia that Carbon Neutral Shipping are involved with help to reduce the CO2 emissions produced globally. We are continuously looking at ways we can reduce our carbon footprint.
Where…
There are various reforestation projects running throughout Asia. Eden Reforestation who leads the project, take a holistic approach to developing and restoring forestry. They work with local authorities and communities giving them an active role in protecting their new forests.
Overview
Carbon Neutral Shipping are helping Eden Reforestation in replanting the forest land throughout Asia to restore ecology and habitats for wildlife in the area for future generations.
About this project
The Eden Reforestation organisation is one of the world’s largest tree planting organisations. Currently they have managed to replant over 384,000,000 trees globally.
Throughout Asia, Eden Reforestation are working closely with local communities to develop and restore the ecology of their forests. This will not only help to bring back the local wildlife but will aid in reducing the CO2 emissions released annually.
As the project continues to progress, local communities are having to not only address climate change, but other important issues such as species extinction and women disempowerment are being scrutinised.
Impact of this project…
Through the continued work done by Eden Reforestation, not only are the various communities being empowered to maintain their forests for future generations, they are being given a better standard of life. There are more jobs which help put money back into the local economy. The wages of the new jobs can help give their children an education and give the families more financial freedom than before.
Through offsetting your carbon footprint in shipping we can make a direct impact on the developing world and sustain our way of life for generations to come.
