Green Wave 2011

This year, schools around the world will plant a tree at the same time to commemorate Green Wave 2011.

As for Cedar, we've selected a rare tree, also known as Malang Malang. This tree is appropriate for parks and gardens.

Here are some special features of the tree:
- young leaves are pink, so the tree is useful as an ornamental tree
- its timber is better than teak
- roots can be used to treat rheumatic pains
- leaves can treat urinary tract infection

Why do we need to plant a tree? Trees help to reduce the greenhouse effect on Earth and also prevent soil erosion. In addition, a tree in a rainforest can house up to 2000 species of insects, fungi, birds, mammals, etc.!
