To the government of Ireland, I am writing to express my utmost appreciation and admiration for your commitment to planting over 440 million trees by 2040. This bold initiative demonstrates your government's dedication to tackling climate change and preserving the environment for future generations. I applaud your proactive approach in addressing the urgent need for reforestation and the positive impact it will have on our planet.

The decision to plant such a substantial number of trees is a significant step towards mitigating climate change and promoting environmental sustainability. Trees play a crucial role in combating global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen. This massive reforestation effort will contribute to enhancing Ireland's carbon sink capacity, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat the adverse effects of climate change.

Moreover, the planting of millions of trees will have wide-ranging benefits for Ireland's ecosystems. Forests provide essential habitats for biodiversity, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal species. They also help regulate local climates, conserve water resources, and prevent soil erosion. The increase in green spaces will enhance the quality of air, create natural buffers against extreme weather events, and promote a healthier and more sustainable environment for all citizens.

Furthermore, this ambitious tree planting commitment will bring numerous social and economic advantages. The creation of new woodlands will offer opportunities for job creation, particularly in rural areas, contributing to local economic development and community resilience. Forests also provide recreational spaces, promoting well-being, and connecting people with nature. The restoration of Ireland's landscapes through tree planting will foster a sense of pride, cultural heritage, and identity among its citizens.

I encourage you to ensure that the tree planting initiative is carried out with a focus on using native species, which are better adapted to local conditions and support indigenous wildlife. Additionally, it is crucial to implement robust management and protection measures to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of these new forests

Once again, I commend your government's commitment to planting over 440 million trees by 2040. Your ambitious goal sets an inspiring example for other nations and reinforces Ireland's position as a leader in environmental stewardship. This significant undertaking will not only benefit the environment but also contribute to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future for all Irish citizens. I stand with you in support of this important initiative and wish you every success in its implementation.
Lastly, I'd like to get a progress report on where you are with this initiative since you commited to plant 22 million trees per year since 2019.
