Due to covid-19, many celebrations that honour new tree and forest champions in Africa and worldwide have been postponed or are only accessible in the virtual format. This moment offers an opportunity to go within and come up with a plan about what you can do for your local trees and greening. Your solution can be life-changing. It is of high value to the ecology around you.
