Flying
Forest program
Safari Drive suports the Flying Forest program of carbon offset because the comunities
that need help most benefit together with the environment.
Although planting trees is not the complete solution to global warming, it goes
a long way - and it’s something we can do now.
Planting trees via Flying Forest is a simple, inexpensive way to redress the
damaging effect of a flight. |

Conservation
We try wherever possible to plant those trees which are indigenous to the region
and thereby help to maintain and restore the bio-diversity of the area. In
this way, not only
do the trees take up CO2, but they’re also good for other
wildlife, from tiny insects to large animals.
Planting and maintaining trees also helps to prevent land
erosion, a major problem in many parts of Africa, and one
which contributes to increased damage to people and the environment
when flooding occurs. |

Communities
In many rural areas, women and children
have to do much of the work in collecting firewood and growing
crops. Flying Forest looks at ways in which to assist in
reducing as much as possible the burden on women and children,
initially by reducing the distance they have to walk to collect
firewood, but also by looking at other programmes which can
bring them an income from the trees through relevant agro
forestry activities.

Helping local communities
Flying Forest is also concerned about the devastation which
has been caused by HIV/AIDS throughout Southern Africa. One
of the major consequences of this is the dramatic and terrible
increase in the number of orphans with no homes and no support.
Flying Forest is developing programmes which can bring income
through agro forestry activities to schools and orphanages
and thereby helping, in a small way, to alleviate the problems.
