Completion of the climate reforestation activities for the planting season of autumn 2022-winter 2023

/ IEP

IEP concluded this year’s reforestation campaign which lasted from October 2022 to beggining of March 2023, by planting 1468 black pine, umbrella pine, cedar, and laurel seedlings, together with 400 seeds of horse chestnuts. This activity was implemented as direct action to mitigate and adapt to climate change by engaging local communities and making them aware of the climate change and ways to mitigate it. Seedlings were planted in the protected areas of Divjakë-Karavasta, Kune-Vain (Lezhë), Korab-Koritnik (Kukës), and in Baldushk (Tiranë). Tens of volunteers and locals were engaged in this activity, which proved to be successful in raising awareness on climate change, and demand more direct action by the authorities.

Afforestation action by planting 500 stone pines in Divjakë-Karavasta National Park

/ IEP

IEP joined tens of other volunteers in the afforestation action on 8 January, by donating and planting 500 stone pine (Pinus pinea) seedlings in the Divjakë-Karavasta National Park. This action will create in the coming years a barrier that will trap sand and thus create a barrier against the advancing sea. The pine trees will also capture CO2 and thus contribute to the climate mitigation efforts to capture as much CO2 as possible through afforestation. IEP will continue this activity by planting hundreds of other seedlings of different species, in other areas of Albania.
