Tree-Nation will plant 8 million trees in Africa in the shape of a huge heart to fight Global Warming and Poverty. It will create the park in Niger which is one of the poorest countries in the world, and one that suffers the most from climate change and desertification. http://www.tree-nation.com

It has recently become affiliated with the United Nations Environment Program in support of each others projects. http://www.unep.org/billiontreecampaign/CampaignNews/21Dec-treenation.asp

It has built a great new kind of website that creates a community through a new mapping tool. Inspired by Google maps, Tree-Nation leaders have built their own special version to be able to plant 8 million trees, all with blogs and profiles. http://tree-nation.com/community_map.php

So via the Tree-Nation website you can buy trees for yourself or offer and send one to someone you love, and people are doing this for Weddings, Valentines, new born babies, birthdays, to advertise a business, or simply to share some thoughts. You can plant a tree on a virtual map and a real tree will be planted in the same place in the real world. The virtual trees all have Tree-Blogs and Profiles so that you can keep in touch with the recipient and interact with others who have bought trees via our community. You can share ideas, photos, messages, make contacts and debate on environmental issues.
