Industrial Tree Plantation

Most people have, over recent years, become aware of just how important are trees to helping reverse the damage we have caused by polluting our atmosphere with carbon dioxide. Trees remove and store this gas, in fact 1,000 hectares of industrial tree plantation will remove and store nearly 28,000 tons of carbon dioxide. Every year, hundreds of animals, insects and birds face extinction because their natural habitat has been destroyed. Industrial Tree Plantations return the habitat they need in order to survive.

More than that, however, because industrial tropical forests need care and attention, not just in the plant raising and out-planting, but in keeping other growth of plants in check to ensure that the trees do not have to fight for nutrients and sunlight. The danger of fire is always present, so people are needed for detection, prevention and, in the worst case, containment.

All of these tasks mean employment for those who live in the area and who previously had to rely upon subsistence farming. The income of the community not only benefits from these jobs, but also over-plant the areas to ensure that the residents will have 10 percent for their sole benefit. Under agreements with the government, 5 percent of project costs are also set aside to provide improvements within the community, such as potable water, hygienic waste disposal, health clinic, etc .
