Planting a Legacy in Sejnane Forest, Bizerte, Tunisia

In the face of climate change, the Mediterranean forests, like the iconic Sejnane Forest in Bizerte, Tunisia, have been grappling with the devastating effects of wildfires. We are proud to announce our tree-planting initiative in the heart of Sejnane Forest, a commitment to revitalizing and boosting the natural beauty that has faced challenges due to climate changes.

The Green Guardians: Carob tree, Evergreen Oak and Eucalyptus

Our tree-planting project focuses on three resilient and vital tree species: Eucalyptus, Carob tree, and Evergreen Oak. These trees not only contribute to the reforestation efforts but also play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the Mediterranean region.

🌳 Carob tree

Symbol of longevity and resilience.
By planting Carob trees, we aim to support the forest's natural regeneration and provide a sustainable future for the generations to come.

🍃 Evergreen Oak

Adds strength to the forest landscape.
With its sturdy presence, these trees will stand as guardians, helping to combat soil erosion and create a sustainable habitat for the local flora and fauna.

🌿 Eucalyptus

Known for its fast growth and ability to thrive in diverse environments.
Eucalyptus trees bring a breath of fresh air to Sejnane Forest. Their presence will enhance biodiversity and contribute to a healthier ecosystem.

Social Impact: Empowering Locals

Beyond environmental benefits, our initiative has a direct and positive impact on the local community. As these trees mature, they create a thriving ecosystem that empowers locals to produce honey and harvest Carobs..

• 🌰 Carobs HarvestCarob trees, with their long lifespan, contribute to the sustainable production of carob pods. This not only opens up economic opportunities for locals but also adds to the rich agricultural heritage of the region.
• 🍯 Honey ProductionThe presence of Eucalyptus and Carob trees is a boon for local beekeepers. The flourishing flora provides an abundant source of nectar, resulting in high-quality honey production, fostering the growth of local beekeeping businesses and contributing to sustainable livelihoods.
• 🌳 Employment OpportunitiesWe believe in creating meaningful opportunities for the community. Locals are not only the guardians of this forest; they are the architects of its revitalization. We are proud to employ community members for the planting and care of these trees, providing a source of income and fostering a sense of ownership and pride.
• 💧 Caretaking for Two YearsFor the next two years, locals will be paid to plant and care for the trees, ensuring their well-being. This involves regular watering, especially during dry periods, to guarantee the successful establishment of the new green inhabitants. By investing in the community's involvement, we are not just planting trees; we are nurturing a sustainable partnership that extends far beyond the initial act.
