More than 500 volunteers including 40 from Japan were together support tree planting activity in UPM.They planted about 5800 seedling on 5 acres land today comprises of 112 species of forest tree. This is an annual activity. This project expected to plant more than 400 species of forest trees and targeted more than 280,000 trees will be planted before the end of this project. All ecological aspects will be studied. This ambition is to fulfill the need to balance the deforestation and development activities in the UPM areas with the numbers of trees needed. Every individual need at least two trees in their life. Hopefully all will support this activity by planting more trees and reduce producing greenhouse gas emissions. UPM must start as an example to others. This project is a collaboration between Japan Mitsubishi Corporation and UPM as one of their coorporate social responsibility (CSR) to develop a model of tropical forest for future reference.
