The Green Country program, initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aims to plant one billion trees across Ukraine. Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the country during the war, foresters are not only maintaining but also increasing the pace of planting, which demonstrates their commitment to environmental goals.
While news about the war has been flooding the media, the Green Country program has not been left without attention and support. Yuriy Bolokhovets, Director General of the State Enterprise “Forests of Ukraine”, expressed confidence that the first phase of the program is going well. This became possible thanks to the efforts of foresters who not only maintained the pace of tree planting but also increased it.
The State Agency of Forestry provides clear data showing that forestry campaigns are active even during the war. Thanks to the cooperation with international partners and the support of the government, the program continues to be implemented, trying not only to compensate for the loss of natural resources, but also to create new green areas across the country.
The importance of this program does not lose its relevance, even in difficult times. It will not only green up the territories, but also improve the environment, which is critical for future generations of Ukrainians. It also sends a signal about the country's unchanging vector of movement towards environmental development, despite all the difficulties.
Yuriy Bolokhovets emphasizes that the activity of forest campaigns is continuous. This fact demonstrates the seriousness with which Ukraine approaches the issue of environmental protection. Thanks to the active participation of communities and volunteers, more and more areas are becoming green, despite the circumstances.
The Green Country program is not only an environmental initiative, but also a symbol of the resilience and commitment of the people of Ukraine to their land. It is expected that by 2025 the plan to plant one billion trees will be fulfilled, which will be another important step towards the country's sustainable environmental development.
Thus, Green Country remains an important environmental initiative that is a priority for modern Ukraine. This commitment to a better future will leave no room for doubt about Ukraine's determination to move forward and take care of its natural wealth, even as the clouds of war appear on the horizon.
