Trees
The 1 trillion trees project

The 1 trillion trees project is a concerted global effort, starting in 2020, to plant 1 trillion trees and offset 10 years worth of carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
Trees play a unique role in carbon sequestration, soil stability, and biodiversity enrichment. Globally, the land masses of Russia, China, and USA combined are capable of hosting re-forestation efforts, which would enable us to plant 1 trillion trees in the coming years. Collectively, this can empower rural community development and significant ecological resilience in the face of the threats of climate change in the 21st century. https://trilliontrees.org/

The climate is changing and atmospheric CO2 levels are increasing to dangerous levels. We are all being told that we need to cut our carbon emissions, and here at CRED Foundation we fully endorse that challenge and would encourage everyone to do their part through a lifestyle review and alterations.
However, we also recognise that in today’s world there are many activities that still lead to carbon emissions, and in those situations we can still make positive changes by choosing to offset the carbon emitted.
We are delighted to launch our new Carbon Offset Scheme in collaboration with CRED Foundation UK.

Langtang, Nepal

Langtang National Park, located 100km north of Kathmandu in Nepal, is a unique ecosystem and site of endemic species. With roaming snow leopards, red pandas, musk deer, and many endemic bird species, the National Park is a site of concerted wildlife and conservation interest.
Established in 1976, Langtang is the oldest national park in Nepal. It is home to 18 ecosystem types, from tropical forests to alpine meadows and tundra.
Road building and intensive construction and expansion are destabilising soils and threatening these ecosystems, however. Tree planting can help to stabilise soils, as well as build community cohesion, and work towards harmony in the National Park of Langtang. We are partnering with locals in Kyanjin Gompa to help plant and grow a nursery of trees to combat these harms.

Baglung, Nepal

The village of Sima, at over 1,900m high above Baglung Bazar, in this district in the west of Nepal, is our second tree planting site. With strong community ties, plentiful land for planting, and an active local workforce, we have already completed two rounds of significant tree planting - with timmur (black pepper) trees and okhar (walnut) trees so far.
With your help, we hope to complete another two big rounds of tree planting in Sima, in both early and late 2024. This scheme not only boosts local productivity and climate resilience, but also provides fruit (within 3-4 years) for local families and employment in the short-term.

Vision 2025

With a vision of tree planting to 2025, we hope - with your support - to plant many trees in both Baglung District and the Langtang Valley of Nepal.
PSD Nepal has chosen to partner with CRED Foundation in the UK to launch and sustain this tree planting program.
Tree planting is taking place in both Sima (Baglung District) and in Langtang National Park - Rasuwa district - in the villages of Syabru Besi, Kyanjim, Surkha, and Sherpagoan. Both are in "high-energy environments" (HEE) prone to landslides and monsoon erosion. Tree planting is pursued with a view to stabilising soils, limiting erosion from road building, replenishing endemic forests, building tree cover, and improving climate resilience.
