Forests have a unique charm<\/a> and are responsible for over 80% of the biodiversity<\/strong> of the planet earth. A lot of forests have been destroyed to be transformed into settlements, farms, or ground fields. Despite, we are losing upwards of 80,000 acres of tropical rainforest daily<\/a>, forests and trees are our only hope to fight climate change. Aware of this, with Ecobnb we have embarked on a new project for the creation of centuries-old woods<\/strong> and forests, which begins with the Millesimo forest, in Savona.<\/p>\n For over 5 years Ecobnb has been working hard to reduce the environmental impact<\/strong> of tourism. Raise people’s awareness, create concrete projects and actions that are able to reduce CO2 emissions from hotels<\/a>, which can also be measured in trees planted. But climate change is faster than one might think and what we are doing every day is not enough. For this reason, we want to do more and do our best to save our planet.<\/p>\n There are magical creatures that absorb CO2<\/strong> and return oxygen, which can help us stop climate change: they are the trees<\/strong><\/a>. But planting trees in distant locations, on the other side of the world, as so many companies do today, did not seem like the right solution. This is why we started planting new trees in Italy, choosing the most polluted areas, such as the Po valley, together with the Ecobnb’s organic farmers. We have planted ancient species, restored rows between cultivated fields, recovered the idea that plants are precious and must enrich our countryside.<\/p>\n But we feel that this is not enough and we want to create something bigger and longer-term. So starting from the Savona forest, we decided to grow the forests of the future<\/strong> in Europe.<\/p>\n At one time Italy, and in particular the Po valley, was covered with lowland forests rich in biodiversity, now almost disappeared. These forests improved air quality<\/strong>, lowered CO2 values, represented a refuge for wild animals, and a safeguard of biodiversity<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Ecobnb’s project is to recreate some of these forests. We will grow forests of great ecological value and not tree plantations destined to be cut once they have grown. A forest is much more than the set of trees that make it up. It is a set of animals and plants that live in perfect harmony with each other, creating biodiversity, beauty, and wealth.<\/p>\nWhy Create Secular Forests<\/h2>\n
