Reforestation Project in Senegal in collaboration with Lignaverda
Under the motto “Let’s make the desert green,” Roularta Media Group and the non-profit organization Lignaverda, supported by Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs, join forces to create 41 hectares of forest in Senegal. This reforestation project has a significant ecological and social impact. For this support, Roularta proudly received the OVO diploma, recognizing support for local entrepreneurship in Africa.
- Ecological impact: With funding of €25,000, Lignaverda can plant 41 hectares of forest, equivalent to about 58 football fields, capturing 143 to 205 tons of CO2 annually. This brings Roularta Media Group closer to its goal of being carbon neutral by 2040. Thoughtfully planted forests will also optimally boost local biodiversity.
- Social impact: Income security is provided as trees are worth more alive than cut down, with products like Arabic gum and Balanites oil being long-lasting commodities. Financial independence promotes women's empowerment (SDG 5, gender equality) and enables them to send their children to school (SDG 4, quality education).
