Planting trees in Africa with a focus on hunter-gathers & elephant conservation.

Doreen stokes lives in Plains, Montana with her husband on 84
acres. She has been a reforestation contractor for over 30 years,
planting trees all over the Pacific Northwest. Her greatest
passions are surfing, mostly in Costa Rica these days, although
she grew up in New Jersey where she started her surfing
adventures. Doreen leads safaris in Tanzania, East Africa...
where she has initiated tree planting and water projects at the
Maasai school in Losirwa. She invites you to join her on
safari where you can give back by planting trees on the school
grounds. Contact her at: herbs@blackfoot.net


In this episode we talk about how you might go about planting a
tree in your area and how it immediately starts to combat CO2 and
climate change. Doreen speaks at length about hunter gatherer
tribes in east Africa as well as wildlife conservation regarding
the plight of the African elephant and rhino. This is a beautiful
episode and you'll walk away wanting to start planting trees...
be it one tree every year on your birthday or for someone else on
their birthday. Before humans starting building cities, 60% of
the earth was covered in trees... now less than 30% is and if we
continue to turn a blind eye and do nothing - there will be less
than 10% of forest on planet earth by 2030. The time for planting
trees and being a mindful consumer is NOW.
