Trees are essential for
protecting our environment. The trees improve the quality of
air that we breathe. They provide human beings and wildlife
food and shelter. And their contribution to climate control
is immense.
Similarly, forests help
to control erosion of soil and prevention of floods. It also
plays a significant role in protecting and conserving water
supplies. These contributions by the trees to our
environment, makes them vital to our own existence.
When we plant trees, we
compensate for the damage and destruction we have caused our
planet by destroying the forests during the past centuries.
As MACL realizes the
significance of planting trees to conserve the environment
and also to raise awareness, it carries out numerous
tree-planting activities at Male’ International Airport.
