2015 International Day of Forests and the Tree

Forests and trees help to protect our environment. They provide shade, shelter belts, contribute to modern medicine, and improve the air that we breathe. Trees and forests are also sources of income and sustenance. Propcom Mai-karfi works with women’s groups in Niger state who process shea nuts from trees in the wild into an economically profiting output. The project has additionally looked at the use of Neem for bio pesticides. Today we celebrate our forests and trees. Happy International Day of Forests and the Tree!
