Brief Description of the Project

This is an environmental education project. It is found that participation by the people is essential for environmental protection program to be effective. Public participation requires a process of education, to inform people about their environment and the means of protecting it, and to encourage them to participate in environmental protection efforts. The project targets school children and can get kids involved at an early age, so they will know from the beginning how important the environment is. By focusing on China's children we hope that Trees for Life project can educate a new "green generation", who will be well-prepared for the task of protecting China's environment in the 21st century.

It is also a reforestation project. Planting trees from a seed is a very important aspect of China's environmental protection efforts. Trees can avert soil erosion, improve air quality, help to counter the threat of global warming, provide habitat for indigenous animal life, etc.. So the usefulness and need for trees are very significant.

    Deforestation often takes place as an effect of overpopulation, urbanization, economical reasons and government’s corruption. Due to urbanization, the demand for housings will rise, causing more land to be cleared in order for more housing to be built to house the locals. Forests are cleared for agricultural purposes, such as to grow more crops on a bigger area of land. These crops are sources of food for people. Materials from the trees, such as timber, are used for making furniture and paper products. Forests are also cleared for rearing animals, providing sources of food for the people. The surplus of the crops, animal meats, and materials from the trees can be exported to other countries to gain economic interests for the country. Mining activities are carried out on patches of land which were cleared from the forests. As the demand for more resources increase, more land would be cleared for the mining of these resources.…
