To strengthen green development, conserve natural resources, and mitigate the challenges caused by climate change, employees of the Ambo Farmers\u2019 Cooperative Union (AFCU) and the West Shewa Zone Cooperative Development Agency jointly conducted a large-scale tree-planting campaign today.
The program began in the morning, during which 10,000 seedlings of different species were planted at various selected locations.
The tree-planting activities were carried out at the following sites:
\u2022 Dandi District: AFCU\u2019s Mechanization Center;
\u2022 Gudar Town: AFCU\u2019s livestock production and rearing area; and
\u2022 Ambo Town: The premises of AFCU\u2019s Animal Feed Processing Factory and Flour Milling Factory.
Speaking during the event, Mr. Kumsa Darara, General Manager of Ambo Farmers\u2019 Cooperative Union, expressed his appreciation to the employees who gathered early in the morning and actively participated in the tree-planting campaign.
Regarding the tree-planting initiative, Mr. Kumsa stated: \u201cThis is not a one-day activity; it is a year-round responsibility. Therefore, we urge everyone to ensure that the seedlings planted today are properly protected, cared for, and supported to grow successfully.\u201d
He further encouraged all employees to take responsibility for the continued care, protection, and monitoring of the planted seedlings.
Similarly, Mr. Tadese Fedesa, Head of the West Shewa Zone Cooperative Development Agency, stated that planting different types of trees not only demonstrates the employees\u2019 commitment to working collectively but also reflects their dedication to implementing the government\u2019s green development plans and strategies.
He further stated:\u201c When we return for a follow-up visit next year, we hope that the trees planted today will have grown and will not only provide us with shade but also contribute to food production.\u201d
He encouraged the employees to protect, regularly care for, and closely monitor the growth and development of the planted trees.
The joint tree-planting initiative was recognized as an important contribution to mitigating climate change, protecting and conserving natural resources, and strengthening the foundation for sustainable green development.
The tree-planting program also demonstrated the importance of strengthening cooperation between the employees of Ambo Farmers\u2019 Cooperative Union and the West Shewa Zone Cooperative Development Agency. Their joint effort is expected to make a significant contribution to building a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable environment for present and future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
