Can You Actually Bring a River Back Just with Trees?

Take Ghana, for example, where our work with @TreeAid is slowly restoring the depleted Daka river. By planting and regenerating more than 4 million trees in so-called tree buffers, or riparian buffers, we're protecting a vital source of water for local communities. Here, the Daka river is indispensable for drinking, washing, cooking, and farming. But how exactly do tree buffers help restore rivers? And is tree planting enough to protect rivers in the long-term? Join us in this journey through Yendi, in Ghana, where your searches on Ecosia are making a real difference. #river #restoration #water #tree #climatechange #ghana #africa #treeplanting ________ 🍿 WATCH NEXT: A playlist of our followers’ favorite videos: https://ecosia.co/ecosiafavorites WHO IS ECOSIA?
