Background Global climate is being affected by human activities
that result from the emission of certain greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere
Forests are relevant to climate change issues due to its function as a reservoir of carbon
Loss of forests is a significant contributing factor in climate change
On the other hand, the possibility of expanding carbon storage in forests has been identified as a potential measure to mitigate climate change
Why Choose Us? Other than providing the clients high quality services timely
in a cost effective way, we also do some volunteer works and pay for charity for different global issues
Currently we are involved in some projects like: Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon Protection of Siberian tiger and its habitat Volunteer research on Cross River Gorillas in South West of
Cameroon and many more Saving the endangered Scotts Tree Kangaroo in Papua New Guinea
Our motto Not only earning revenue, also serving humanity, protecting
environment and save the globe.
“A person's true wealth is the good he or she does to the World”
Hoping for a Much Better and Livable World….!
Thank you all for the overall support
