Methane (CH4) is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) and a leading cause of many health challenges, air and water pollution  in the Niger Delta region \n\n* Planting trees can help restore ecosystems, supporting biodiversity \n\n**Project Activities**\n* Organize climate change awareness and tree planting events in rural communities.\n* Promote research and content at the intersection of climate and web3 in Africa.\n\n\n**Expected Outcomes**\n* Promote carbon removal and increased tree cover.\n* Raised awareness about climate change in rural communities \n* Empowered local communities to address climate challenges through tree planting \n* Promote a community of nature lovers-  tree planters in Nigeria \n\n**Project Links** \n* A twitter (X) thread of #ProjectOl\u00f3kun, a pilot tree planting event at Mopo Akinlade community, Lagos.
