Pterocarpus erinaceus, commonly known as African Rosewood, a valuable and endangered species of tree native to Nigeria and Sahelian region of West Africa but due to over-exploitation and habitat loss, this species is at risk of extinction.
Solution
The Green Planet Conservation Initiative (GPCI) seeks to tackle these challenges through a comprehensive approach that combines reforestation, conservation education, and sustainable land management practices. The project will focus on restoring degraded landscapes by planting native and endangered species, particularly African Rosewood, and implementing agroforestry systems that promote biodiversity and improve soil health.
Road map
-	Begin large-scale planting of native and endangered species, including African Rosewood, in identified areas.
-	Implement agroforestry systems that combine tree planting with sustainable agricultural practices to enhance biodiversity and improve livelihoods.
-	Monitor and document the progress of reforestation efforts using digital measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems.
Timeline:  Months 4-12: Implementation of reforestation and agroforestry projects, initiation of MRV systems. Education and awareness campaigns in schools and communities.
