We aim to create a more sustainable future for the next generation through our initiatives. We strive to leave a positive impact on the world and inspire future leaders to continue the mission of protecting the environment.\n![climate education]( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GlYLJEwXoAAkRN2?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)\n\nProblem\nNorthern Nigeria is a region facing Continuous deforestation because of the need for food, medicine, charcoal, and timber. The loss of tree cover, rainfall variability, increased temperature and events like wind erosion has had severe environmental consequences. In addition to tremendous loss of biodiversity, the region experiences soil degradation, erosion, desertification and landslides.\nAccording to the United Nations, Nigeria has the highest rate of deforestation in the world, losing 3.7 percent of its forest every year. It is also home to Africa’s largest mangrove forest, but only six percent is protected. Its multiple ecological zones have given rise to a wide range of livelihoods, agricultural practices, and commodities, all of which are affected by climate change and shocks.\nSolution\nOur Green Project initiative is helping to address the interconnected challenges through a comprehensive approach that combines reforestation, climate and environmental education, regenerative agriculture and biodiversity conservation, leading to a more sustainable future for our environment and communities. The project focuses on restoring degraded landscapes by planting native and endangered species, and implementing agroforestry systems that promote biodiversity and improve soil health. We are working closely with local communities, schools, and government institutions to raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable practices. Green Planet Conservation Initiative is also committed to ensuring the transparency, accuracy, and effectiveness of our tree planting activities. To achieve this, we are employed a digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) Silvi protocol. These digital tools will enhance our ability to monitor tree growth, track progress, and provide verifiable data to our stakeholders. We are also partnering with Federal College of forestry to preserve and conserve Pterocarpus erinaceus, commonly known as African Rosewood, a valuable and endangered species of tree native to Nigeria and Sahelian region of West Africa. but due to over-exploitation and habitat loss, this species is at risk of extinction. \nGreen Planet Conservation Initiative (GPCI) is also at the fore front of promoting blockchain technology and  has actively promoted Community Adoption within the Celo ecosystem through targeted efforts designed to educate, onboard, and engage diverse audiences. \nGPCI has leveraged platforms like YouTube and web resources to spread awareness and provide practical education on Celo and its applications in sustainable initiatives and other applications in real world.\nGPCI has also being onboarded on impact foundry(Atlantis) a platform to manage and monitor impact on-chain.\nFuture Plan and 2025 Outlook\nOur vision is to create a sustainable future for generations to come by promoting tree planting and environmental conservation in schools and local communities. We believe that by planting trees, we can help to mitigate the effects of climate change and create a more sustainable environment. We also believe that by raising awareness about environmental conservation through communities and school campaigns, we can inspire young people to take action and make a positive impact on the world. The knowledge of planting and protecting trees will be passed on to the next generations. \nOur goal is to plant 1 million trees in Northern Nigeria by 2030 through our school campaign program, that is aimed at reaching 100,000 students in the region. We hope to achieve this by partnering with local organizations, schools, and communities to promote tree planting and environmental conservation. We also provide educational resources and training to teachers and students to help them understand the importance of environmental conservation. GPCI is working to scale web3 and dMRV adoption for verifiable, transparent and conservation funding.\n2025 \n🎯 Milestone:\n🌱 By Q1 2025, achieve full deployment of Dmrv(SILVI) tracking and on-chain impact(Atlantis)\n🌱 By Q2 2025, plant at least 5,000 trees across targeted locations\n🌱 By Q3 2025, reach at least 50 schools and onboard 500+ as Tree Ambassadors\n🌱 By Q4 2025, host 5+ major climate education & engagement events\n\nApproach:\n•\tConduct environmental education workshops in schools\n•\tTrain 500+ youth as Tree Ambassadors\n•\tLaunch community-driven sustainability projects\n•\tOrganize climate action days & environmental clean-ups\n\n\nKey Achievements & Impact to Date\nFollowing our participation in GG21 DeSci and Climate Rounds, we have successfully:\n✅ Conducted climate education & tree-planting programs in 14 schools.\n✅ Planted and distributed 500+ tree seedlings, including endangered species.\n✅ Hosted a major community climate action event with 1,000+ participants.\n✅ Implemented dMRV technology to track and verify planted trees.\n✅ Secured approval to expand tree-planting programs in more public schools.\n✅ Partnered with the Federal College of Forestry, Jos, to reintroduce Pterocarpus erinaceus.\n✅ Conducted online training and produced web resource to foster community adoption within Celo ecosystem. https://youtu.be/ZGDNn4jLFDg?si=SsSTaOrddtmG6ugt\n\n\n![totalplantedtrees](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GT2exxPXcAAj910?format=jpg&name=small)\n![differenttrees planted](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GT2eup_XIAAwvpd?format=jpg&name=small)\n\n![tree planting](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GRB2s31WMAE8pa1?format=jpg&name=360x360)\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@greenplanetconservationinitiat\nhttps://impactfoundry.atlantisp2p.com/myapplications/67d5e82138de0108f2f6cb3e?from=home\nhttps://www.environewsnigeria.com/group-sensitises-students-on-significance-of-tree-planting/\nhttps://von.gov.ng/ngo-sensitises-students-on-important-of-tree-planting/#:~:text=An NGO%2C Green Planet Conservation,interview on Sunday in Jos\nhttps://twitter.com/GreenPlane49148\n\n\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "GreenPlane49148"}
