Project Description

Overview:

Earth Sphere's Trees for Life is aimed to promote sustainable forestry and tree farming ; to encourage businesses and individuals to get involved and help them offset their carbon emissions by doing their share of planting trees.

Every business and individual is responsible for generating carbon emissions - through the gas they use in their company vehicles, during the manufacturing process for their products, or by the paper they consume . While we often take these activities for granted, they are some of the many factors leading to global warming.

As an example, one gallon of gas produces twenty pounds of carbon dioxide. A typical car burns over 500 gallons of gas a year and emits over five tons of carbon dioxide! Similarly, the typical person uses 613 pounds of paper every year - about three trees worth. We all contribute to Global Warming. Now we can do something about it for very little cost.


The Project

The The Project seeks to help restore and protect the denuded forests of the world, with a pilot project area in the Philippines. It combines the principles of sustainable forest management and tree farming to attain this goal.

It aims to plant 1 million trees in five years, and every year thereafter, utilizing modules designed for acquired forest, public as well as private lands.

It uses a fast-growing, high-value forest timber specie Bagras (Scientific Name: Eucalyptus Deglupta) for an optimised social, economic and environmental impact.


Objectives

The Project aims to produce significant environmental benefits that are scientifically quantifiable and long-lasting. It is expected to absorb 13 tons of Carbon Dioxide per hectare per year. It likewise intends to protect biodiversity and ecosystems; improve local microclimate and environmental quality; and promote sustainable development by creating economic opportunities for the upland and rural people.


Physical Setting

The Project Area is located in North Luzon Island in the Philippines and is comprised of different modules. While some modules cater to forests and acquired public lands, some are designed for private lands for potential investments.
