The Maldivian government plans to plant 2 million trees by the end of 2025 as part of its Five Million Tree Plantation Program, launched by President Mohamed Muizzu. The initiative aims to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and preserve endangered native tree species, including fruit, shade, and medicinal trees.
Over five years, 90 varieties of fruit-bearing and vegetable-producing plants will be planted to boost ecological and food security. A mobile app will be developed to track tree locations and contributors, ensuring sustainability.
