Addis ababa: President Taye Atskeselassie has joined the Green Legacy Initiative's latest push to plant 800 million seedlings in a day. The President and office staff members participated in today's tree-planting campaign at the Chaka Project in Addis Ababa.
According to Ethiopian News Agency, today's campaign is part of a wider national campaign that aims at accelerating reforestation and supporting long-term environmental restoration. Millions of Ethiopians are taking part in the campaign to plant 800 million seedlings in a single day-a scale of collective environmental action rarely matched globally.
Across the country's diverse landscapes, Ethiopians have come together to plant trees under the Green Legacy Initiative (GLI), a huge movement that has turned environmental restoration into a widely recognized symbol of national commitment and climate responsibility.
