Turning the desert green in Burkina Faso

Показать описание

Ecosia’s long-time friend Saydou Kalaga tells of the importance of reforesting the desert. Saydou leads our partner organisation Hommes et Terre in the Sahel, Burkina Faso. Here, the soil is infertile and the landscape badly deforested, but thanks to your searches, there’s hope.

Each year, entire villages come together to dig seedbeds in half-moon formations. This helps to collect rainwater and allows seeds to sprout. Now, the degraded landscape is slowly turning green.

Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Every month we invest at least 80% of our surplus in tree planting projects all over the world.

Ecosia is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, and many more.

You can also download Ecosia on your mobile:

Sometimes I forget that I'm not using google, and I see the little tree counter in the top right, but I don't really think about it. Today, I feel proud of it, and I'm proud of everyone at Ecosia. You guys are doing incredible things, at a far greater capacity than anyone may have thought. Thank you for making a difference where we can't.

you guys should push for schools to use ecosia. I am trying, but no one is listening to me. If you think about it, students use computers at school almost every day for research projects and homework. multiply the number of students in a public school and each search they make... you can make many more amazing things like this happen.

I often feel bad about when I use paper or forget to recycle it. Ecosia made me feel better, and I realized that this doesn't only plant trees, it also helps people. Thank you Ecosia.
