Samsung American subsidiary has teamed up with Veritree, the blockchain planting management system to plant over 2 million mangrove trees in Madagascar. The partnership will expose Samsung to Cardano blockchain.

The partnership was announced at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Cardano Foundation’s Sidney Vollmer tweeted about the recent partnership.
The plantation of Mangrove trees in Madagascar would be a part of the company’s effort to limit the effects of climate change. Why Mangrove trees? Because these trees store ten times more carbon than other tropical forest trees.

The plans were explained in a couple of videos uploaded by the CEO, Charles Hoskinson.
