The burst of tree planting was part of a wider reforestation campaign named "Green Legacy," spearheaded by the country's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Millions of Ethiopians across the country were invited to take part in the challenge and within the first six hours, Ahmed tweeted that around 150 million trees had been planted. — CNN
The challenge presented to Ethiopian citizens this past Monday encouraged them to plant 200 million trees in one day. In the end, the nation succeeded by planting a total of "353,633,660 tree seedlings in 12 hours."
Ethiopia joined the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative along with 20 other African nations pledging to restore 100 million hectares of land. Ultimately, "the tree planting campaign aims to plant 4 billion trees" moving forward.
