Join the Green Wave!
One School, One Tree, One Gift to Nature!
The Green Wave is a multi-year biodiversity campaign that lets you make a difference - one school, one tree, one step at a time. It brings together students and teachers from around the world to raise awareness about biodiversity, and the need to reduce its loss. The campaign will contribute to the Billion Tree Campaign.
In participating schools, students plant a locally important tree species in or near their schoolyard. On 22 May, the International Day of Biological Diversity (IBD), students around the world will count down to 10:00 local time, when they will water their tree in their respective schoolyards, thereby creating a figurative “green wave” starting in the far east and traveling west around the world. Throughout the day, students will upload photos and text summaries to the
website to share their tree-planting story with other children and youth from around the world. An interactive map depicting all the Green Wave trees will go live at 20:10 local time, thereby creating a second “green wave”.
