OK, I looked at the site, and it says:
QUOTE:
"Answer the green questions below. For each 10 correct answers, we will plant one tree in a deforested area of Africa. Together we can save the world."
Sounds interesting. However, it is still rather vague - it does not say which countries or even the biogeographic or climatic zones involved. It says that advertisers on the site pay for planting the trees - who pays beyond that, for maintenance and protection of the juvenile trees? Too many of these tree planting initiatives do not look beyond the "planting" aspect. As well-intentioned as the project sounds, what institutional arrangements are in place to implement and manage the tree-planting programmes?
