Behind the scenes: your trees in Morocco 

An update we be nice.

sometimes I do not find what I intended to find. Just in a second step I use google :X

I know I wish there was just some sort of organization that would take volunteers to plant trees because I don't even need money for doing this.

@@tuckerlundquist8311 you could look for grassroot organizations in your country. Here in the Netherlands there is at least one organization where you can sign yourself up to help planting trees just one for day (or more if you like) as a volunteer 😁

Anyone else did it. But I can say that I am mother Therese. If you believe that, then I am mother Therese. Stupids are everywhere. Villains are everywhere.

Not sure what point you are trying to make?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And so on.

the app ecosia.. it's like Google but when you search "you" can plant trees and help the Organisation.

Hello there! Not sure if you mean only in Morocco? Anyway, you can see all our monthly finances online, we publish our Financial Reports and Tree Planting Receipts every 6 weeks: documents.ecosia.org/467540/12095458 . Hope this helps, thanks for asking and sorry for answering so late. Cheers, Fátima

We don't have an ambassador programme at the moment, but you can help us by continuing to use Ecosia and spreading the word to family and friends!

I dislike it becasue as I have tried to explain to ecosia already, Morocco is too far North of the equator. It is the tropical rainforests that lie on the equator, or very close to it that are critical for controlling the worlds climate. Morocco, like Europe , is too far North. I think they are making a mistake. They need to focus all the tree planting on the equator, as as close as possible to it, if we are to slow climate change. Franics, Biochemist, Ecologist.

I put this on an ecosia utube video a while ago, in response to someone asking a similar question. Ecosia agreed with it. "The reason tropical rainforests are fundamental for controlling global climate is 1) because they store huge quantities of CO2; 2) the release huge quantities of O2, which cool the global climate and keeps it calm; 3) the are called rainforests not just becasue clouds drift over from elsewhere, and dumping huge quantities of rain on them, but because with the huge rivers flowing through them, a huge amount of water is being sucked up by the trees, and so a huge amount of evaporation occurs continuously from the leaves of the tress. This all happens because over the equator, where the Amazon, Congo and Borneo lie, you get 12 of light every day of the year, and it is very hot. Because there is so much evaloration of water from the leave of trees, the forests create their own cloud cover. These clouds do two things: 1) they drop rain down regularly, even multiple times a day ( hence the name "rainforsts"), but crutially, these clouds the forests create, form large white blankets over the forests canopy. These white blankets reflect heat back into space, and this has a very powerful cooling effect on the whole planet. But because humans have destoryed a lot of tropical rainforest, this cloud formation process has been reduced and lost, so our planet is heating up. So if we can plant 100's of billion of tropical rainforest trees back, and reduce CO2 emmisions, as they grow, all these process I have described, and especially the formation of cloud by the forests, will cool our plant faster. And because there is day light 12 hours a day in the tropics and it is very hot, compared to Northern Hemisphere countries, Canada, etc, trees grow much faster than in colder countires, and they grow all year round. So all these process I have described, operate all year round and suck CO2 up fatser and probably release O2 faster. In cold countries, evaporation and growth stops in Winter, even from Pine trees, and many trees loose their leaves, so all evaporation and growth stops. Can I have a kitkat now and some tea."

Francis Hooton this makes a lot of sense I appreciate you taking your time to explain. Maybe this could get Ecosia to move closer to the amazon. I am aware of the deforestation that is happening over there and believe that this could be a first step to do something great for the amazon and our environment

thanks Sandy Velez

I would like to see Ecosia moving their Moroccan and Spanish tree planting projects, to the equator. Maybe start another up in Borneo. Borneo sits right ontop of the equator and 60 years ago it was entirely covered in jungle.

many years ago the dessert was an area with trees. And it is good for the people there.

The desert was once forested. Over time the trees were cut down. Ecosia is helping the people to reforest what has been lost.

Thanks for your question and thank you for answering each-other

They have planted trees around parts of the Sahara where conditions are right, and this stops the desert expanding and over-running fertile land. They create a corridor of trees and it seems to work. A lot of land in Northern Africa was once forest.
