€470.00Donated So Far
“100,000 Trees in Paphos” is a citizen’s initiative aiming at mobilizing, local authorities, the Forestry Department and institutions to facilitate a massive tree- planting project in 2020 - 2021 with the Paphos Aphrodite Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Toronto Bay Bloor, Canada.
Paphos, is already facing the effects of global warming in the form of extended heatwave periods. Scientific projections are sketching a very unpleasant picture for the future with rising temperatures and a process of desertification reshaping the Cypriot landscape in the next few decades. There is a scientific consensus that reforestation can help combat climate change, soil corrosion and desertification and significantly reduce temperatures in urban environments. We do not wish to sit back and watch the effects of climate change destroy our habitats and make life on the island unbearable.
One tree costs between Euro 3 to Euro 10.
Buy a tree as a present for family and/or friends.

What a wonderful idea to plant trees in Paphos - well done Thorsten. We may not benefit immediately from them but our children's children will reap the rewards of natural shade during the very long and extremely hot summers of the future. Dianne, Gabrielle and Nicole Bradshaw

A great initiative and if trees could be dedicated as a commemorative tree then that would be wonderful as well!
