Environmental impacts
How does the campaign measure environmental impacts?
The “Root in Stone” campaign uses several environmental indicators to evaluate the impact of its actions. These indicators include reducing carbon emissions, improving soil quality, absorbing water, and restoring local ecosystems. For example, the positive impact on ecosystems can be assessed by measuring the amount of carbon absorbed by planted trees and reducing soil erosion. In addition, the use of satellite monitoring technologies and drones helps the campaign more accurately track the results of tree planting and the restoration of damaged areas.
Does planting trees have an effect on reducing climate change?
Planting trees is one of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change. By absorbing carbon dioxide, trees help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are the leading causes of global warming. Also, planting trees increases carbon sequestration in the soil and improves local humidity, which in turn helps reduce temperatures and improve the climate balance. These large-scale actions can have positive effects on mitigating climate change.
How does the campaign help protect water resources?
Planting trees directly helps improve water resources. Tree roots improve water absorption in the soil and prevent erosion. In arid and semi-arid areas, planting trees reduces evaporation from the soil surface and increases water infiltration into the underlying layers, strengthening groundwater resources. Trees can also help regulate the water cycle in the ecosystem and control floods.
Will this campaign help restore destroyed areas?
Yes, one of the main goals of the “Root in Stone” campaign is to restore degraded areas, especially those damaged by mining. By planting trees in these areas, the campaign helps restore vegetation and bring life back to them. Rehabilitating these areas not only helps improve local ecosystems but also restores the natural habitats of plant and animal species.
What effects does the campaign have on biodiversity?
The “Roots in Stone” campaign helps to increase biodiversity by planting trees and reviving degraded areas. By restoring vegetation, the campaign creates suitable habitats for plant and animal species and helps various species return to natural ecosystems. Planting trees restores habitats and ecological balance in areas that have been degraded due to industrial activities.
