<p>The ambitious initiative of prime minister Abiy Ahmed aims to help restore the country’s landscape which experts say is fast being eroded by deforestation and climate change.</p>
<p>The state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate announced more than 224 million trees were planted today, surpassing the initial goal of 200 million trees planted in one day.</p>

<p><em>“Today Ethiopia is set in our attempt to break the world record together for a green legacy,”</em> the prime minister’s office tweeted this morning.</p>
<p>Early today, Mr Abiy planted trees in Ethiopia’s southern region.</p>
<p>Ethiopia is in the midst of a tree-planting campaign in which it aims to plant four billion trees between May and October.</p>
<p>Agriculture officials stated that so far more than 2.6 billion trees have been planted in almost all parts of the East African nation.</p>
<p>According to Farm Africa, an organisation involved in forest management in Ethiopia, less than 4% of the country’s land is now forested, a sharp decline from around 30% at the end of the 19th century.</p>
<p>Ethiopia’s rapidly growing population and the need for more farmlands, unsustainable forest use and climate change are often cited as the causes for rapid deforestation.</p>
<p>In addition to ordinary Ethiopians, various international organisations and the business community have joined the tree planting spree which aims to overtake India’s 66 million trees planting record set in 2017.</p>
<p>It is not yet clear if the Guinness World Records is monitoring Ethiopia’s the mass planting scheme but the prime minister’s office said specially developed software is helping with the count.</p>
