On Monday, July
29, 23 million volunteers in Ethiopia came together to answer an important
call: planting trees—lots of them. This was part of a big national project
called the Green Legacy Initiative. According to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the
project’s aim is to restore forests to the land and deal with the effects of
climate change.
By the end of
the day, over 353 million tree seedlings had been planted at 1,000 sites across
the country. Planting this many trees is a big achievement. It’s a proud moment
for Ethiopia, and it puts the country on the right path towards its goal to
restore 58,000 square miles of forest by 2020.
今年七月二十九日星期一當天，衣索比亞有兩千三百萬名志工齊聚一堂來響應一項重要的號召：種樹——
還很多棵喔。這是一項名為「綠色遺產計畫」的大型全國性計畫的其中一部分。根據其總理阿比•艾哈邁德的說法，這項計畫的目標是以恢復植被來應付氣候變遷的影響。
當天結束之前，全國一千處地點種植了三億五千三百多萬棵的樹苗。種下這麼多樹木可是一項重大的成就。對衣索比亞來說，這是一個值得驕傲的時刻，且這項舉動讓該國致力於在
2020 年前造林五萬八千平方英里的目標步上正軌。
