Unsere zwei Baumpflanzprojekte im Dezember: Griechenland und Rumänien - NIKIN CH

Project in East Attica - Greece

Our project in Greece aims to combat the effects of the wildfires that have ravaged the East Attica region near Athens since 2018. By planting 40,000 trees, including cypress, carob, laurel, and Judas trees, we aim not only to restore ecological diversity but also improve the quality of life of the community. The planting campaign spans multiple locations and enables animals that have migrated to inhabited areas due to habitat loss to return to their natural environment.

Project in Transylvania - Romania

The project in Romania focuses on restoring wind-damaged forest areas in the Eastern Carpathians. Spruce monocultures, which are vulnerable to extreme weather events, are to be replaced with a natural mix of spruce, beech, and pine. The project not only promotes biodiversity but also actively involves the local community in planting and maintenance measures, thereby creating jobs.

Sustainable reforestation and social commitment

Our projects go beyond mere reforestation. We aim to not only strengthen the ecosystem with these projects, but also create benefits for local communities. In Greece, for example, the air quality and aesthetic value of the region are significantly improved, while in Romania, long-term jobs are created through the involvement of the local community.

Together for a greener world

Our commitment to the environment goes beyond planting trees. We believe in the power of community and that together we can make the world a better place. Want to get involved? For every NIKIN product you buy, we plant a tree. Together we're making the world greener - #treebytree!
