The BiG EVAL Forest
We planted a forest on Haiti
Each of the trees that gets planted by our partners Evertreen and Eden Project is dedicated to a customer, partner or friend of BiG EVAL, what is proved by a personal certificate.
About the Project
The project entails the planting of 300 trees. Our partner Evertreen adds about 150 extra trees to cover the natural mortality rate occurring during plant repositioning.
The so planted BiG EVAL forest has an estimated CO2 offsetting power of 45'000 kg.
The project aims at protecting and restoring forests on a massive scale by involving local farmers and creating livelihoods for people living in extreme poverty by offering them the dignity of employment and the possibility to become transformational agents of global forest restoration.
