Since 2020, the city of Fritane in Sierra-Leone has been a significant pretender to the notable changes in the surrounding environment due to the planting of a million trees within the framework of the reforestation initiative, known as "Fritane, Tree Generation." This campaign became possible thanks to the efforts of local authorities, government agencies, and local organizations.
One of the main organizers of the project is local activist Mohammedi Farma Bari, who noted that tree planting is an important step in the battle against climate change and drought. He also emphasized the positive impact of this initiative on the ecosystem of the region and the lives of its inhabitants.
The program "Fritane, Tree Generation" not only facilitates the increase of green plantings but also educates local residents about the importance of preserving the surrounding environment and the sustainable use of natural resources. Thanks to this work, the community becomes more aware of the need to preserve nature for future generations.
One of the project participants, a resident of Fritane named Aisha Kamara, noted that participating in tree planting not only brings benefits to the surrounding environment but also unites the community. She expressed hope that similar projects will become more popular and will expand to other areas of the country.
The initiative "Fritane, Tree Generation" serves as a bright example of how communities can unite to solve ecological problems and make their society more sustainable and green.
