in #giveaway6 years ago

Dear Steemit friends and followers

Soon after announcing my sponsorship of photo contests hosted by great Steemian @derangedvisions in this post, I am very happy to inform you about another project that I decided to sponsor.

The project that just earned my long-term support is @treeplanter, a fundraising voting bot run by @martin.mikes, the project manager and coordinator of the non-profit organization @kedjom-keku.

Now let me first briefly introduce you to @martin-mikes and his inspirational activities.

His non-profit organization @kedjom-keku was founded with the aim to save remaining fragments of the Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon. Rivers and lakes of the forest are a source of drinking water for millions of people and it is also the natural habitat of the most threatened chimpanzee subspecies, the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, as well as hundreds of other endemic species of the surrounding mountains, the Bamenda Highlands. Due to the unsustainable development practices, the forest currently covers only 2% of its original area so conservation efforts are needed desperately to keep it alive.

The most efficient tool to raise funds for @martin.mikes conservation efforts has been his voting bot @treeplanter so I decided to give @martin.mikes my helping hand and become the main sponsor of @treeplanter.

@treeplanter works like any other voting bot - you send him your bid (between 0.01 and 0.5 SBD/STEEM) and the bot will upvote your post with twice as larger worth of the vote. However, unlike most other voting bots that only generate profit for their owners, @treeplanter is used exclusively for fundraising. 50% of the SBD/STEEM received by @treeplanter goes directly to Cameroon to fund the conservation programs and the other 50% is used for powering up so that the bot can satisfy more Steemians and raise more funds for the conservation programs.

As you can see, all the funds generated by @treeplanter are used for a good cause so make sure to send your bid to @treeplanter the next time you want to use a voting bot. You will get yourself a decent upvote and help to save a forest in Africa at the same time so this is a perfect win-win situation :)

Also, to celebrate the great news about my sponsorship of @treeplanter, I decided to host a special giveaway photocontest. The theme of the photocontest is: SELFIE WITH YOUR FAVORITE TREE.

The rules are simple:

  1. Only your own photo. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.

  2. Only one submission per person.

  3. Add a short (30-50 words) description of the photo.

The contest will be closed in seven days (on the next Tuesday) and I will pick one winner who will receive 10 SBD from me. Those 10 SBD will be taken from the reward for this post but all of the remaining SBD from this post will be transferred to @treeplanter so make sure to upvote this post with as much power as you can!

You can start submitting your entries in the comment section below. Good luck to all competitors.

First a big shoutout to Tomas for supporting Martin Mikes and his @treeplanter project. I definitely have to use the bot to protect nature and raise awareness for a good cause.

Jumping at Joshua Tree National Park
I chose this picture because it was taken at a "National Park" where the nature is already protected in a special way. Also it shows how much fun you can have when being outdoor and enjoying the nature. Please don't litter, try to reduce your personal use of plastic, use renewable energy if possible and use your feet and bike more often instead of jumping into your car every time:)
Have a great day!

what @martin.mikes and @treeplanter are doing is awesome!! using the earn of the STEEM blockchain to grow literaly the lunges of our planet!!

do you know what would be nice and interesting?a city full of steemit Steemitizens , we could be autosuficient and payments could be sweet easy

This is a photo taken by me of @josefinemk roughly two years ago. This was her first trip to Canada to come visit as we met in Australia. I took her to Banff National Park and we did one of the famous walk in the area. The curve in this tree is just to cool haha.

While traveling Australia, I found a fantastic tree. A tree you thought only finding in movies! It had long branches running on it sides and not upward! Nature is very surprising and we should learn to love and preserve it and understand we aren't the only living being here!

Location: Karinjini NP, Western Australia.

That is one crazy tree! I love trees like this one, with insisting branches taking over rocks and anything along their path!

Great project! Congrats Tomas on engaging in another wonderful initiative.

My picture is from El Chinyero volcano trek on Tenerife island. Here, the landscape is mainly lava and pine trees, with contrasting bright green and black colors. This centuries-old pine tree is tough and resilient. Its trunk of blackened charcoal bears scars from the forest fires. The Canarian pine trees are very resistant to fire but it is not understood clearly if they depend on fire for regeneration.

Whaou this really is a large tree :) ... I didn't knew pin trees are resistant to fire!

Great shot you got there!

Thank you so much! They are very resistant, which is super awesome because fires there are pretty bad there due to the constant windy conditions.

Excellent initiative! And here goes my entry: the photo was taken in Costa Rica, and this very special tree is hollow! It belongs to the Ficus genus, and is climbable almost to the top, with an impressive view of the landscape.

Where in CR is this one? I am moving there in the summer and I would love to see it!

It´s in Santa Helena, near Monteverde. It´s tricky to find since the path is not identified, but ask at any hostel and they´ll direct you! It's walking distance from the village.

This is a very cool tree, I've never seen such kind of growing tree. It is just spectacular and make me wonder how can nature does such wonderful things!

Awesome share ;)

Thanks! I actually did a post on these trees, after seeing this contest. I've seen some huge ones while travelling, some you could even stand inside; but none like this one!

MY FAVORITE TREES

This photo is taken by @aldy at night time, this photo is located in Meunasah Meucat village Nisam district ,Aceh North, Indonesia.
And this picture is taken around 22:00, 28 May 2018.
I really like this tree because it is located in front of the tavern, this tree makes the atmosphere becomes cold.
in the afternoon under this tree is used as a vehicle parking lot when they visit the shop.

Thank you .!

Although there are beautiful trees all around us, this is my favourite because it is a symbol to remind me that imperfections could be perfection if looked at carefully, unlike other straight trees this particular tree is unique, could be used for resting, close to the sea and it was my grand dads favourite spot

Cool contest @czechglobalhosts and good on you for supporting this.

My choice is the Baobab tree from Africa

This tree is awesome. Well all Baobab trees (Adansonia in latin) in Africa are awesome. They live a long time, they grow huge fruit that makes a nice juice (or booze) and there are many many stories in many different African cultures that talk about the importance of this tree. Enjoy this photo from Southern Africa!

Nice one @czechglobalhost. Finally I can participate in one of your contests.😆. I dont have a good camera or phone but i love following all your contests. I feel like I've seen the world through the beautiful images you always post. I'll send my entry soon.
