300 trees planted

Duma planted 300 indigenous trees in the Arusha area in April and May. As safaris have a heavy carbon footprint due to the amount of diesel fuel used, Duma plants trees each rainy season to offset its carbon emissions. Trees are planted during the rainy season to ensure survival. Average diesel fuel consumption on a seven day safari is 200 liters which produces approximately 0.50 tonnes of CO2 emissions (www.carbonfootprint.com).
