"A Vision does not need to be found       - it's there right in front of our eyes!"		The Treenitiative is envisioned by:
	The future is bright We're at the brink of exhilaration! Worthwile change and an amazing shift will happen the very moment humanity wakes up to its true raison d'être and when we realise that nothing is lost and everything is to be gained. You are invited to partake in a FRESH VISION of our collective future on Planet Earth! Almost one third of our planet Earth's land surface is covered by desert. In this count there are not only the vast sandy deserts where dunes prevail, but also huge deserted regions with sparse vegetation that are getting annual rainfall less than 500 mm. The oceans cover 71% of the Earth's total surface. Rainforests once covered 14% of the land mass and now they are down to 6% only and if we keep on cutting them down at the same pace then they will be gone in 40 years. The rainforests are not only destroyed for their precious timber, in fact most of their trees are cut down for slash and burn cultivation and to recover land for cattle breeding.
If we as a human race can collectively declare it our intention and goal to recover land for cultivation from the desert and to derive the water needed for irrigation from the oceans, and if we put our undivided energy into this task, we will achieve our aims in almost no time. Humanity's scientific and technological state of affairs undoubtedly allows to tackle such problems - if space travel is possible, then greening the desert is feasible too! Reforesting the desert is an apt approach to restore climatic conditions that foster cultivation and therefore we have started the Treenitiative as a hosting platform for activities related to rebuilding the natural ecosystem of our planet. We are driven by the vision of a greener, cleaner, brighter future for all of humanity. We believe when dreams, imagination and a common vision of a better world unite and become the driving force for exploring new and better avenues of being and of doing things, then much can happen. We invite you to take heart from this vision and to take a leap towards a promising future based on a revived and revised understanding of the importance of global coexistence, cooperation and sustainable usage of our planetary resources.
