Tree Planting
Our trees are planted around the world by registered NGOs, providing much-needed employment to vulnerable communities. These initiatives ensure that forests are planted in perpetuity and protected by long-term local communities.
By planting trees, we enhance these natural processes, reducing the overall concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Furthermore, reforestation and afforestation projects help rehabilitate degraded lands, improving soil health and promoting ecological balance.
Additionally, our projects include the planting of mangrove trees, which absorb significant amounts of blue carbon, providing additional climate benefits.
By partnering with local NGOs, we ensure that the planting efforts are sustainable and provide long-term benefits to the communities involved. These projects offer employment opportunities, contributing to local economies and fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the newly planted forests.
Mangroves sequester carbon at rates up to four times higher than terrestrial forests. They also provide critical habitat for marine life, protect coastlines from erosion, and enhance fisheries. Our mangrove planting projects are located in coastal regions where they can have the greatest environmental impact.
