MECOSI leverages tree planting as a powerful tool for peacebuilding and social cohesion, particularly in areas affected by resource-based conflicts.

In regions where disputes over land and water create tension, tree planting serves as a unifying activity that encourages dialogue, cooperation, and collective environmental responsibility. By bringing together diverse community groups, including farmers, youth, women, and local leaders, MECOSI fosters collaboration and reconciliation, creating a platform for peaceful interactions and mutual understanding.

The initiative goes  beyond symbolism by promoting sustainable land use practices that help mitigate resource-related conflicts. By restoring degraded land and improving access to shared natural resources, MECOSI reduces competition and tensions over scarce resources.
Additionally, the organization engages stakeholders in training and advocacy efforts, emphasizing the importance of peaceful coexistence in achieving long-term environmental and economic sustainability.
Through these efforts, MECOSI not only enhances ecological restoration but also strengthens community resilience and harmony.
