The Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) reported that **Nigeria had lost 96% of its primary forests**\n\n**Our Solution** -  Collaborate with Silvi Protocol and local volunteers to **organize on-chain tree planting events in Nigeria**\n\n**How Does It Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission?** \n* Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2), which makes up 76% of total greenhouse gas emissions.\n\n*  Climate activism could influence policy to reduce gas flaring (methane emission) in oil-rich Niger Delta region. Methane (CH4) is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) and a leading cause of many health challenges, air and water pollution  in the Niger Delta region \n\n* Planting trees can help restore ecosystems, supporting biodiversity \n\n**Project Activities**\n* Organize climate change awareness and tree planting events in rural communities.\n* Promote research and content at the intersection of climate and web3 in Africa.\n\n**Impact Metrics**\n* Planted and nursed 30 native forest and fruit trees in Lagos\n* Organized 4 virtual and IRL climate events with over 50 attendees \n* Social media reach \n\n\n**Expected Outcomes**\n* Promote carbon removal and increased tree cover.\n* Raised awareness about climate change in rural communities \n* Empowered local communities to address climate challenges through tree planting \n* Promote a community of nature lovers-  tree planters in Nigeria \n\n**Project Links** \n* A twitter (X) thread of #ProjectOlókun, a pilot tree planting event at Mopo Akinlade community, Lagos. The event was supported by **Silvi**, **ReFi DAO**, and **Celo Foundation**  https://x.com/ReFiLagos01/status/1773343168278183995?s=20 \n\n* Visit our blog post for content at the intersection of climate, agriculture, and Web3 in Africa - https://blog.refidao.com/author/simon/ \n\n**Hypercert** \n* Minted hypercert of our recent event  https://hypercerts.org/app/view?claimId=0x822f17a9a5eecfd66dbaff7946a8071c265d1d07-18639987495195167151596734245897399087136768  \n\n**Support Our Grant**\n* Wallet address 0xC117d2f70BE4A766e7F3e055547E7C5403D447BC\n\n**Join The Movement**\n* Join ReFi Lagos telegram group to collaborate and share climate / web3 ideas https://t.me/+zGhwit24SUNkZWJh \n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "refilagos01"}
