Our goal is to reduce deforestation rates globally, promote sustainable alternatives and ensure a greener future for us all.

Deforestation

Our mission is to combat deforestation, one tree at a time.

We are committed to creating a world where our forests flourish, our wildlife thrives, and our planet is healthier.

We believe in the power of education, conservation and sustainable practices to make a real difference.

Purpose

We are here to raise awareness, inspire action and drive change.

Our goal is to reduce deforestation rates globally, promote sustainable alternatives and ensure a greener future for us all.

We aim to create a global community that values and protects our forests as the vital resource they are.

Key Facts

• Forests cover nearly 31% of our planet’s land area. That’s over 4 billion hectares!
• Every year, we lose 18.7 million acres of forests, equivalent to 27 soccer fields every minute.
• Deforestation contributes to 15% of all global greenhouse gas emissions.
• More than half of the world’s terrestrial species call forests their home.
• Forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change by acting as a carbon sink, soaking up CO2 that would otherwise be free in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.

Initiatives

• We are working with governments and corporations worldwide to enforce stricter regulations on illegal logging and promote sustainable forestry practices.
• We are educating communities about the importance of forests and how they can contribute to their conservation.
• We are planting millions of trees worldwide to restore our depleted forests and create new ones.
• We are advocating for the rights of indigenous communities who are often the best caretakers of our forests.

Ideas

• Develop a mobile app that allows users to plant a tree with a simple click, turning conservation into a daily habit.
• Launch a global art project that uses satellite images of deforestation to raise awareness and inspire action.
• Create a “Forest Guardian” program that encourages individuals and businesses to adopt a patch of forest and fund its protection.
• Partner with schools to incorporate forest conservation into their curriculum and instill these values in the next generation.
• Start a “Green Business Certification” that recognises companies using sustainable practices and contributing to forest conservation.
