KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay, a global sustainability advocate has announced continued support of the Arbor Day Foundation’s reforestation work in the south Liaoning Province of China by planting 8,000 trees in 2022.

“By focusing our efforts on improving the natural habitat and biodiversity of these deforested areas, we are improving the environment along with the economy. We are investing in the future and spreading awareness that trees are essential for our communities to prosper.”

Global and Local Impact Highlights include over 1.2 million trees have been planted globally by Mary Kay in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation; and, in China, 22,500 trees have been planted in two regions: Gansu Province & Inner Mongolia Forests and Western Liaoning Province.

Founded in 1972, the Arbor Day Foundation has grown to become the largest nonprofit membership organisation dedicated to planting trees, with more than one million members, supporters and valued partners.
