Planting trees in Malawi

Planting trees in Malawi

Malawi is the country with the largest endowment of fresh water: but in spite that 20% of its land is covered with water, the earth is arid for lack of trees. The major causes of deforestation are the high population increase rate (2.7% per year), the high density on land (203 people per square km) and a very low access to electricity (11.2%). Practically everyone uses wood to cook, to keep warm, to build houses, to have energy for rural activities or for industry. Rotary Club Lilongwe-Lingadzi in the beautiful capital of Malawi proposed a tree-planting service to RC Milano Nord- Ovest in line with the Rotary objectives of protecting the environment and growing local economies. The service focusses on helping local communities to plant and maintain trees.
