ENO News
and Events
A new campaign in the ENO Programme was launched today, called 100 Million Trees By 2017. One million trees will be planted in 2008 and then more year by year. Tree planting will accelerate in 2011, the International Year of Forests. The ultimate goal is to plant 100 million trees in the ENO Programme by the end of 2017. ENO Programme challenges all the tree planters in the world to follow example and join our common effort to plant 100 Billion trees by 2017. Official start will be in Malaysia. ENO Teacher Kalaimani Supramaniam and his school SMK Teloi Kanan will plant some pine trees. They have been spending weekend and school holidays planting mangrove seedlings and seeds with the help of Global Environment Centre and Scouts of Malaysia. Their school plans to mobilise students nation-wide to plant one million trees and hopes that it can be achieved in the Kuala Gula area. Mangroves are the only defence against sea storms and tsunami. As ENO comes from Finland and there is a saying "Finland lives off its forests" we also want to do our part for the forests in this global village. Therefore, we will invite all Finnish companies and stakeholders to support this, in co-operation with other countries and the United Nations. We also hope that governments in other countries will support this action nationally."
