Trees play important roles in our lives as well as the environment we live in. They provide habitats (homes) for different kinds of insects, birds, and other animals, food for humans, and feeds/forage for livestock. Trees also prevent soil erosion, regulate water, and carbon cycles, and provide shade. Without trees, there would be no life on this planet. Taking cognisance of the value of trees, Regreening Africa, an ambitious five and a half-year programme seeks to reverse land degradation among 500,000 households, and across one million hectares of land in eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
