As part of our local to global responsibility, when you place an order, a tree is planted in your honor.

After you place an order, you will receive an order confirmation and a separate e-mail that will tell you about the tree we planted for you, including its species, its location, and its benefits to our planet and fellow human beings. As you will see, the benefits of the trees that are planted go beyond environmental and have tremendous humanitarian benefits, as well. Here is a quick overview of where the trees are planted and the benefits they provide…

Northwest Madagascar

Deforestation is a major issue in Madagascar because of its high concentration of endemic species and extreme rates of habitat loss. The destruction of healthy forest systems causes so many different problems. Trees provide a habitat for wildlife, purify water sources, control flooding and erosion, and help to replenish the soil with nutrients needed for farming. When farmers can’t grow anything, their farms fail, and they have no option but to move to the overcrowded cities looking for work. Oftentimes, they have to resort to selling themselves or their families into slavery just to survive. To prevent this, local villagers are hired and paid to plant the trees, giving them sufficient income to provide for their families. As the reforestation effort goes on, healthy forests begin to emerge and all the negative effects of deforestation begin to disappear. This project is managed by Eden Reforestation Projects. It began in 2007 and has successfully planted over 16 million mangrove and dry deciduous trees in northwest Madagascar.

Nawalparasi, Jhapa, Rautahat, and Morang Districts, Nepal

Nepal is a diverse nation with magnificent snow-capped mountains to the north, hot tropical plains to the south, dramatic landscapes, and spectacular wildlife. Chitwan National Park alone hosts more than 700 species of wildlife including leopards and Bengal tigers. It is also home to an array of cultures united by a close relationship with nature but insulated from much of the socioeconomic development of urban regions and are therefore subject to far greater environmental hazards and high levels of inequality. This project is managed by Eden Reforestation Projects and was created in 2015 to help improve local livelihoods and restore forests in areas of critical importance. Eden works with both native reforestation species and agroforestry species to support local communities with additional income for food, clothing, house maintenance, medical treatments, and schooling. The planting sites are located in upland areas on steeper terrain located around Community Forests in the mountainous Nawalparasi District, along lowland alluvial plains in the Jhapa, Rautahat, and Morang Districts, and around Chitwan National Park as a means of developing a buffer zone around this national biodiversity treasure.

Fattick and Kaolack Region, Senegal

This project is managed by Trees-for-the-Future and consists of training 500 farmers on sustainable land management, including organic farming practices, developing tree nurseries, and planting 2,000 trees per farmer for a total of 1,000,000 new trees. The end result will be hundreds of sustainable forest gardens that will rejuvenate the region, creating both food security for the area and revenue for the farmers. Other benefits include CO2 sequestration, enhancing gender empowerment through engaging women in the project, providing jobs to under-privileged members of society, and allowing more kids to go to school and stay in school because their parents now have enough income to afford it.

Bafoussam, Douala, and Yaoundé, Cameroon

This project is managed by a partnership between Trees-for-the-Future and Fagrib. It began in Western Cameroon to address erosion, food insecurity and the unsustainable farming practices of smallholder cocoa farmers. Through the intercropping of multipurpose trees and fruit trees, this project is helping 500 cocoa farmers grow higher quality cocoa while improving their land and livelihoods. 1,000,000 trees are planted (2,000 trees/farmer) to help cocoa farmers grow higher quality crops, thus strengthening their lands, increasing their incomes, and providing food security. Other benefits include CO2 sequestration, improved soil fertility, teaching organic farming practices, enhancing gender empowerment through engaging women in the project, providing jobs to under-privileged members of society, and allowing more kids to go to school and stay in school because their parents now have more income to afford it.
