In Ethiopia, for a day planted over 350 million trees to combat climate change

The Ethiopian authorities have decided to fight climate change through the mass planting of trees. This was reported by the BBC. For twelve hours were planted more than 353 million plants. Updates about how many trees already planted in his Twitter publishes head of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology Getahun Mekuriya. The head of the initiative "Green Heritage" was the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abijah Ahmed Ali, who himself also planted some trees. Some government offices were closed today, the officials took part in the project. 



According to the UN, at the beginning of the XX century 35% of Ethiopia was covered with trees. In the 2000s, their number had dropped to 4%. The initiative "Green Heritage" takes place in thousands of cities across the country. The main objective of the project - land 4 billion plant. Also, the Ethiopian government say that by planting as many trees per day, they set a new world record. In 2016, a similar record was recorded in India, whereas 800 thousand volunteers per day planted over 50 million trees. As reported by the BBC, critics of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia has claimed that with the help of "green" initiatives it distracts people from other problems in the country - for example, severe ethnic conflicts.
