The Hu to Plant 12 Thousand Trees in Their Home Country
Society
Ulaanbaatar, April 24, 2023 /MONTSAME/. The Hu has announced a tree-planting project in their home country in honor of Earth Day (April 22).
For the Campaign, 12 thousand Siberian Elms will be planted in the southeastern region of Mongolia, which overlaps with the Gobi Desert. When the trees are grown together, they will form the shape of The Hu's logo - a one-horned leopard, based on an ancient symbol used by the Hun tribes.
This Land Art campaign is in partnership with the environmental institution SHAMBALE2056 Engineering Campus LLC, which has been relentlessly working in the area on several restoration projects and eco-friendly irrigation and energy systems. The trees being planted are Siberian Elms due to their strong root system and low water requirements, which will help fight the rapid deforestation of the Gobi because of sandstorms and climate change.
Digging efforts will begin in May, and THE HU will offer fans the opportunity to purchase one of the trees to help fund the initiative, details of which will be announced in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, The Hu has also premiered a English-translated lyric video for the song "Mother Nature," a track off the group's 2022 album, Rumble of Thunder.
"Everyone in this world belongs to a mother, and this song narrates the similarities between one's relationship with their mother and the connection between humans and the Earth," The Hu says.
"In a way, Earth is another mother that bores us to this world. In Mongolia, mothers are highly regarded and respected, and we believe that even after death, their soul protects their child as their love is limitless."
