Landmark Difference Makers Interview Series: Gashaw Tahir – Planting Trees and Changing Lives
We welcome Gashaw Tahir, founder and CEO of the Greenland Development Foundation (GDF)—a leader in reforestation, food security, and environmental justice in Ethiopia and beyond.

Recognized as the “Father of the Green Movement” in Ethiopia, Gashaw has overseen the planting of over a million trees, engaged youth in sustainable work, and earned honors from the Ethiopian government as well as international environmental agencies.
More recently, GDF’s mission has scaled to include “We Plant Trees for Peace”, ecosystem restoration, and holistic community development—linking climate action with social healing. His vision is to see deserts green again, communities nourished, and nations renewed through the power of regeneration.
