Costa Navarino Forest is a tree planting online game where visitors from around the world are invited to join in and
plant their own virtual tree at costanavarinoforest.com. Through the game, in an easy-going and entertaining way, the participants
learn what it takes for a tree to be planted, grow healthy and strong in the Forest. Costa Navarino and Aegean Airlines will
make them come true by turning these virtual trees into real endemic ones in Messinia Greece, aiming to reach a total of 10,000
trees by the end of 2011.
While the online initiative provides the means to try and raise environmental awareness globally,
Costa Navarino and Aegean Airlines will be acting locally by planting these trees in Messinia, an unspoiled, yet accessible
region in southwest Peloponnese, Greece, which spreads over the roots of mount Taygetos, overlooking the clear blue waters
of the Mediterranean Sea. Valuable partners in this eco-initiative are the local communities and the Forestry Department of
Kalamata, Messinia, which will provide the trees to be planted.
Apart from raising awareness on the importance of tree
planting for the future of the planet, this virtual game will actively contribute to the overall effort for preserving and
regenerating the unique forests of Messinia which constitute an integral part of the pristine and diverse environment of the
region, characterised by its natural beauty and rich heritage.
