An effort to plant different species of trees native to areas across different parts of Madagascar, Indonesia, Nepal, Kenya, Senegal, and Haiti launched by Cardano has attained its initial goal of 1 million trees. This was reported a couple of hours ago by Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation.
According to Gregaard in a series of tweets, the initiative is now fully funded and Cardano Community is the strength behind the milestone. He added that Cardano’s quest to become a leader in climate impact is now becoming a reality with this achievement.
