The Maldives, a nation fighting rising sea levels, is making waves with a bold green mission: plant 2 million trees by the end of 2025. 💪 This ambitious effort is part of its Five Million Tree Plantation Program, launched by President Mohamed Muizzu to tackle climate change and protect the archipelago’s fragile ecosystems.
Why Trees? 🌳
With its coral reefs and low-lying islands under threat, the Maldives is doubling down on nature-based solutions. The initiative aims to restore native species like the Dhivehi rukeyvaa (a rare coastal tree) and create wildlife habitats while capturing carbon emissions—a critical move for a country 99% ocean.
Local Roots, Global Impact 🌍
Fun fact: 2 million trees would equal nearly four trees per resident! Schools, businesses, and communities are joining the #GreenMv movement, blending traditional conservation with modern tech like drone-assisted planting. 🌴
Could this become a blueprint for island nations worldwide? Stay tuned for updates!
