Motivation for the location:
Lumina commune is located in Constanța county, a county with a very low degree of afforestation, only 5% of the surface is represented by forests. Besides the problem of deficiency of forest areas, Constanța county is affected by soil desertification and combated by planting forest seedlings and their long-term care to rehabilitate the infertile soil.
Adoptă un Copac aims to increase the forested area in southern Romania, in some of the counties with the largest forest deficit, mainly by creating forest protection curtains.
Adoptă un Copac is a program of the Viitor Plus association – for people and nature.
