A cooler, greener city is built tree by tree.
Many of Africa's fastest-growing cities are losing green cover at exactly the moment they need it most.
What it is.
Lagos is adding a million people every year. Abuja is growing. Kano is growing. And as they grow, they are losing the trees, parks, and green corridors that keep cities livable — that cool streets, clean air, absorb rain, and give people somewhere to breathe.
Urban greening is climate action. A well-planted boulevard reduces the urban heat island effect. A school with tree cover improves learning outcomes in the hottest months. A community park is not an amenity; it is infrastructure.
We work with municipal governments, schools, and community associations to plant and protect urban trees, restore public green spaces, and build the case — with mayors, council members, and ministries — that nature belongs in the city.
