Tree-Nation Project: Sponsor a tree
In partnership, with Tree-Nation and the United Nation Program for the environment (UNEP) and within the frame of the campaign "Plant for the Planet", Quo Vadis plants a forest of 100 000 trees in NIGER. This country is known to be the poorest country in the world according to the Human Development indicator. The Quo Vadis forest is located on a plantation called Dosso, 150 km east of Niamey.
Starting January 1st 2010, when you buy a Habana product, you automatically sponsor a tree in Quo Vadis forest.
When you sponsor a tree, you are joining the fight against global warming and you participate in the economic development of some of the poorest regions in the world.
