Pressure on the cash-strapped government to act has been growing. However, it was the drought of 1983 that jolted the state into action, compelling it to launch the first of many agro-forestry projects.
The first tree-planting day was marked on 22 July 2006, with the government launching a mass tree-planting experiment in the village of Imohoro, 50km north of Bangui.
In recent years, Central African authorities have placed particular emphasis on the fight against climate change and deforestation, by encouraging tree planting. The country aims to plant thousands of hectares of trees this year alone.
