Haiti
Haiti is one of the most environmentally degraded counties on our planet. More than 98% of Haiti's forests are already gone and 30% of the remaining trees are being destroyed each year. This deforestation magnifies the effects of hurricanes and contributes to soil degradation which leaves people without any way to farm their food.

Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Among the 17,000 islands that make up Indonesia, there are 135 threatened mammal species. An estimated 40 million rural dwelling Indonesians rely heavily on the biodiversity of their environment for subsistence needs. In the last 30 years Indonesia has lost over 40% of its mangrove forests, affecting not only the environment and the species that rely on them but also the communities that depend on this ecosystem for survival.
Tree Species: Mangroves
Mozambique
Mozambique is home to 20 globally threatened bird species, and over 200 endemic mammal species. With over 45% of the population living beneath the poverty line, the population relies heavily on its natural resources and forests for survival. Historically home to vast mangrove estuaries and forests, Mozambique's mangroves have been largely decimated and destroyed.

Kenya
Since Kenya's independence in 1963 nearly 50% of the nations forests have been destroyed. Kenya's five montane forests - called "water towers" because of their ability to store water during the rainy season and release it slowly during dry periods - provide 75% of the nation's fresh water supply.

Tree Planting Projects
We work with planting projects around the world. Learn more about the regions affected most. Follow the region to start planting trees now.
Planting trees in these unique regions financially supports the communities by providing jobs, opportunities, education and other social and infrastructure support. With our planting partner, Eden Reforestation Projects, this economic investment in these communities allows locals to discover a path to a better life for their families.
