Simple actions, multiple benefits.

Simple technologies can save lives and livelihoods. Tree

planting, whether it be coconuts or other deep

rooted species, has multiple benefits, such as

reducing damage associated with floods and high

winds. It can also help to restore ecological balance,

maintain biological diversity and stabilise soil. In

addition, many communities can derive income from

managing forests. Six year-old Van Lyna plants a

small tree on “Green Day” in Prey Veng province, in

south-east Cambodia.
