Let's plant !

July 11th, at one of 4 classified (preserved) forests nearby Bobo,

with the presence of the mayor of Bobo city, the governor of Hauts-Bissins region, the minister of Environment and Living conditions,

The opening campaign of reforestation 2009 in this region.

After some official speeches,

Everyone started planting.

Men

Women too

The senior counsellor (Dutch) of a project too which works for protection of forests and natural resources in this region

French too

Japanese too

I don't know how many people participated that day...

About 1000? Anyway there were many people...

This year in Burkina, 11 million trees are planned to be planted in which 1 million will be in this region.

It is important to plant young trees when we cut old ones.

But aftercare (their protection) is more important.

I hope really that this region will become more green in 10 years...
