ELESTIA plans actions for a world where humans love themselves as well as their fellow beings and nature.
The program will include reforestation (regeneration) of areas vital to humanity that have been destroyed by fires.
Apart from the transplanting of various species of trees, it includes aerial bombing of seed balls -seeds rolled within a ball of clay and other nutrients.
This program is designed according to the method “Natural Farming” of Masanubu Fukuoka, so as to help as much as possible the rapid regeneration of forests.
Ideally, ELESTIA has the vision to break the record of tree planting in Greece, following the example of other countries that took the lead in this action. The areas that will be selected are those that were destroyed by the 2007 fires.
It inspires us the most to create a network of cooperating groups with nature lovers, because we firmly believe that we can in Greece, if we wish, approach the work of pioneers in environmental protection.
Examples of actions contributing to The Exaltation of Life:
Ethiopia created a wider reforestation campaign named “Green Legacy". It was a national initiative to leave a “green heritage” to future generations; in just one day - July 29, 2019 - they managed to plant 350 million trees!
India broke its own world “Green Record” by planting 66 million trees in just 12 hours. One and a half million volunteers planted 66 million saplings in the state of Madhya Pradesh in 2017, toppling the previous Guinness that held the 2016 Pradesh State.
The 19-year-old Felix Finkbeiner, in collaboration with the UN’s Billion Tree campaign, has planted more than 14 billion trees in more than 130 nations.
