On 6 November 2026, Burundi’s President took part, near Brazzaville, in the launch of the United Nations Decade for Afforestation and Reforestation (2027-2036), on the Republic of Congo’s National Tree Day.
More than 200,000 trees, mainly eucalyptus, pine and avocado, were planted to mark the event. All the avocado trees planted by the dignitaries came from Burundi.
In total, Burundi donated 2,000 avocado seedlings to its neighbour as a contribution to reforestation efforts, the Presidency of Burundi said.
