We are going through dif­fi­cult times these days: repeated finan­cial cri­sis and nat­ural dis­as­ters per­pet­u­ated by cli­mate change have pushed the world to the brink. For­est of Peace believes that now is the right time for you and your busi­ness to pause and reflect whether your involve­ment with your envi­ron­ment, be it human or nature,  is at a respon­si­ble and appro­pri­vate level. Below we pro­vide you with the infor­ma­tion you need in order to under­stand our mis­sion: grow­ing trees, coun­ter­act­ing car­bon emis­sion and secur­ing the future edu­ca­tion of a child with our ‘intel­li­gent Child Teak Edu­ca­tion Trust’ – iCTET. We believe that with every small step we take, we can make a dif­fer­ence. We hope that you will be part of our achieve­ments, because we can­not do it alone:

1. Forests pro­tect against soil erosion, through the exten­sive root sys­tem of trees and shrubs in the soil wash­ing a way of soil by water is prevented.
2. Trees pro­vide a bal­anced envi­ron­ment:.. it reduces the con­trast between heat and cold and wind protection.
3. Forests pro­duce oxy­gen: For­est plants pro­vide large amounts of vital oxy­gen through photosynthesis. A tree pro­duces leaves with its 1 mil­lion per year around 4500 kg of oxy­gen, which is 3.2 mil­lion liters or 3200 cubic meters. For that he needs about 75,000 tons of car­bon dioxide!
4. For­est col­lects and puri­fies water: ..Loose for­est floor with many cav­i­ties and pores torapidly takes rain­fall, the water is only slowly start­ing again. The roots of the trees with moss and fungi form a symbiosis. Moss can store very large amounts of water. The runoff from for­est areas are there­fore spread more evenly than those from open areas. Floods are rare. Sources, which are located in the for­est donate, even dur­ing sus­tained drought water. This water has almost always drink­ing water qual­ity. The slow seep­age of water replaced by the for­est floor con­sum­ing clean­ing procedures. Of 100 cubic meters of water that fall annu­ally on the sur­face of a tree, he takes up 40 cubic meters and itsaves about 30 cubic meters.
5. For­est of Peace takes a stand for trees and for kids: via iCTET, we pro­vide finan­cial secu­rity for the future ter­tiary edu­ca­tion of a child:

   “Nature, animals and humans together form an organism. We are all inter­con­nected and interdependent. Therefore, it is impor­tant that we pro tect the planet and change our behavior. And it is the time to change some thing “here and now”. We believe that even the small est idea can achieve some thing great and have already imple­mented our projects. Above all, we want to give young peo­ple a voice, because in the hands of our youth is the future of the world.”

   For this reason, Forest of Peace recently had dis­cus­sions with Care for Kids and agreed with them that we wanted to first sup­port the chil­dren of the Foun­tain of Life Children’s Cen­ter, together with you.
