Brazil onetreeplanted.org The Atlantic Forest, also known as Mata Atlantica, once spanned 130
/collections/latin-a
million hectares across Brazil. Now, this tropical rainforest ecosystem
merica/products/br
azil-forests
covers only about 12% of its original area and is home to more than
half of the country’s population. Centuries of deforestation for timber,
sugar cane, coffee, cattle ranching, and urban sprawl have contributed
to its current state. Nearly all of the remaining forest is in western São
Paulo State, including the Mooro do Diablo State Park, the Black Lion
Tamarin Ecological Station, and many smaller forest fragments.
Canada (British onetreeplanted.org Notably, BC is home to incredible and iconic biodiversity like the
/collections/canada
Columbia) Canada Lynx, Snowy Owl, Moose, and more. Forests cover two-thirds
/products/british-co
lumbia-forests
of the province – an area of almost 60 million hectares. Sadly, insect
pests and diseases have decimated enormous areas of forest. These
dead trees became fuel for wildfires, and in summer 2017 B.C.
experienced its worst wildfire in history, with over 1.2 million hectares
burned. You can help recover this essential wildlife habitat when you
plant a tree.
Canada (Ontario) onetreeplanted.org Given its remarkably large land area, Ontario's forests are incredibly
/collections/canada
diverse. From the northern lowlands around Hudson Bay, through the
/products/ontario
Boreal forest, and on to the deciduous forests in the south, Ontario is
home to a wide array of unique plants and wildlife. However, many of
Ontario's amazing forests are being pressured by natural resource
extraction and encroaching agricultural development. On top of this, in
April 2019 the Ontario government cut funding for its tree-planting
program, which intended on planting 50 million trees by 2025.
Canada (Québec) onetreeplanted.org The majority of forest coverage in Québec comes from the Boreal forest
/collections/canada
- the world’s largest intact forest ecosystem - making Québec forests
/products/quebec
some of the most ecologically rich ecosystems on the planet. They are
home to more than 225 species of bird, 50 species of tree, and 60
mammal species including moose, black bear, fox, and caribou.
Colombia onetreeplanted.org Sustinere and its partners' reforestation project is in the Choco,
/collections/latin-a
Colombia, one of the world's most biodiverse areas, with more than
merica/products/co
lombia
8,000 species of plants and 600 species of birds. In the 2000s, the
Choco suffered 60% of the deforestation in Colombia, due to mining
and logging.The location of the reforestation project is in the
municipality of Tadó, in the department of the Chocó, which is the
pacific region of Colombia. More specifically, the 5 village-areas in the
municipality of Tadó where the project will take place are: Tapon,
Corcobado, Angostura, Playa de Oro and Tabor.
Denmark onetreeplanted.org Due to historic deforestation, only 14.5% of the land area in Denmark is
/collections/europe
forested. Our respected on-the-ground partner will work with 550
/products/denmark
landowners to get 1 million trees planted on over 350 hectares of land
to benefit the climate, biodiversity, and the local community. This
project is part of a nationwide effort to grow Denmark's forest cover to
25% by 2100 and will establish a multi-functional woodland on
marginal farmland in western Jutland. The best part? It will be
protected in perpetuity by the Danish Forest Act.
Ethiopia onetreeplanted.org This tree planting project links environmental restoration with income
/collections/africa/p
generation, providing the local community with the knowledge and
roducts/ethiopia
tools to conserve their land, protect their water supply, and create a
sustainable, diverse economy for future generations. It focuses on the
Loka Bedelcha Kebele in Southern Ethiopia, and the Amhara region in
the North. Both are areas where environmental degradation is
threatening livelihoods and biodiversity. These regions face challenges
like dry and unpredictable climates, poor soil fertility, ineffective land
management practices, and lenient resource regulations.
Ghana onetreeplanted.org Ghana is known for its diverse animal life, miles of sandy beaches
/collections/africa/p
along a picturesque coast, and beautiful forests covering more than
roducts/ghana
21% of the country. Since the early 1990s, Ghana has lost more than
30% of its forests – approximately 2.5 million hectares. With a
remarkable 80% of Ghanaians depending on forests for their
livelihoods, deforestation has a major impact on communities. To
reverse this trend, Ghana's government is focused on improving land
management, planting trees, and protecting forests. This project is
also a part of the AFR100, an initiative to restore more than 100 million
hectares of land across Africa by 2030.
Honduras onetreeplanted.org Plant a tree in Honduras to help restore beautiful landscapes with local
/collections/latin-a
communities. Since 1990, around 45% of Honduras’ natural forests
merica/products/ho
nduras
have disappeared. Miraculously, Honduras is still dotted with hotspots
of biodiversity, providing homes for macaws, jaguars, and giant
iguanas. Within the forestlands of the mountainous Nombre de Dios
region, deforestation has put these hotspots under threat. In addition,
Honduras’ dry corridor region is highly vulnerable to extreme weather
events. But now we have an opportunity to restore some of the areas
that have been damaged to help the forests thrive again! This project is
a collaboration of One Tree Planted, Rainforest Alliance, and local
communities.
India onetreeplanted.org India is a vast land full of contrasts. Moist and dry tropical forests,
/collections/asia/pr
temperate and subtropical montane forests, alpine forests and
oducts/india
mangrove forests are all found here. Recognized as one of the 17
“megadiverse” countries, around 8% of the world's flora and fauna is
found in India, including species like Bengal Tigers. With nearly 3,000,
India supports the largest population globally. Additionally, India's
forests support the livelihoods of almost 275 million people, who
depend on them for food, fuelwood, fodder and other forest products.
Indonesia onetreeplanted.org Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands, including Borneo and
/collections/asia/pr
Sumatra, the third and sixth largest islands in the world. Extensive
oducts/indonesia
mangroves, carbon-rich peat swamps and the third largest reserves of
rainforests left on Earth are all found across this sprawling archipelago.
Recognized globally for its exceptional biodiversity, many rare and
unique wildlife such as Sumatran tigers, elephants, orang-utans and
over 1,700 species of birds are found here. Your donation will help to
restore ecosystems in this biodiversity hotspot that has experienced
profound degradation caused by rampant deforestation for palm oil
plantations, damaging peat fires, and extensive logging.
Kenya onetreeplanted.org Kenya’s Kijabe Forest is a highland mosaic ‘Afro-alpine’ forest that was
/collections/africa/p
once dominated by trees, such as the East African pencil-cedar and
roducts/kenya
African olive. Roughly one-third of the original high-canopy forest still
stands and provides important habitat for biodiversity. The forest is
only about 5,000 hectares, but a community of almost 200,000 people
depend on it for water, wood, and agriculture. Increasing pressure for
land poses significant threats to the region, leading to the
over-extraction of resources and illegal timber harvesting. Planting
trees here will help protect this vital ecosystem, promote
environmental education, and foster sustainable livelihoods through
seed collection and ecotourism.
Mexico onetreeplanted.org This project focuses on both farmland conversion and forest
/products/mexico
restoration to improve biodiversity habitats in an essential migration
corridor for numerous species, most notably the Monarch butterfly. By
densely planting native species with the cooperation of local
landowners and indigenous communities, we can make sure that
Senguio and Ocampo's natural beauty is restored for future
generations of people and wildlife.
New Zealand onetreeplanted.org New Zealand is home to unique forest ecosystems, including kauri
/collections/the-pac
forests, kahikatea swamp forests, pōhutukawa forests and mixed
ific/products/new-z
ealand
broadleaved forests. These support a diverse flora and fauna that
evolved in the almost complete absence of land mammals and are
almost entirely made up of native bird species found nowhere else.
However, native forests like these have suffered from centuries of
logging, forest clearance and invasive species that have reduced them
to a fraction of their former range. Your donation will help to plant
thousands of trees to restore the island’s indigenous forests and create
habitat for wildlife, while stabilizing hillsides to prevent erosion and
protect local watersheds.
Philippines onetreeplanted.org The Philippines have traditionally supported some of the most
/collections/asia/pr
spectacular primary rainforests in South East Asia. In some islands
oducts/philippines
such as Mindanao and Palawan, remnants of the great rainforests
remain, though deforestation has decimated old growth forests in
many areas. In addition to tropical rainforests, unique bamboo and
mangrove ecosystems exist across the archipelago. The diversity of
habitats in the Philippines support an exuberance of life making it one
of the world’s seventeen “megadiverse countries” as well as a global
biodiversity hotspot. Endangered wildlife such as the Philippine Eagle
and Philippine Tarsier, as well as almost half of the country's 1,196
known species of amphibians, birds and mammals are endemic and
found nowhere else. Your donation will help restore the Philippines'
spectacular forests, protect the island’s biodiversity and develop
sustainable livelihood options for local communities.
Romania onetreeplanted.org Climate change and shifts in agricultural practices have left large
/collections/europe
swathes of Romania's lowlands abandoned. Without people to
/products/romania
manage the land, soil erosion and degradation of the landscape is
starting to take its toll. Our planting partners in Transylvania are
converting this abandoned land into healthy forests and raising
awareness about the importance of proper land management to
ensure these forests are well maintained. This planting project takes
place around the picturesque UNESCO world heritage site Sighișoara,
made up of 13th century Romanian Saxon villages.
Spain onetreeplanted.org This reforestation will work to rebuild the forests of Undabaso. This
/collections/europe
area is located in the municipality of Muxika, in the province of Bizkaia,
/products/spain
in the Basque Country. The area is included in the Urdaibai Biosphere
Reserve.
Tanzania onetreeplanted.org The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program (TIST)
/collections/africa/p
supports Small Groups of subsistence farmers in Kenya, Tanzania,
roducts/tanzania
Uganda, and India to combat the devastating effects of deforestation,
poverty, and drought. Farmers come together in Small Groups of 6-12,
forming Clusters of 20-70 Small Groups. Clusters meet monthly to
address agricultural, HIV/AIDS, nutritional, and fuel challenges, as well
as to discuss tree planting. As TIST expands to more groups and more
areas, it ensures more trees, more biodiversity, more climate change
benefits and more income for more people.
Uganda onetreeplanted.org Uganda has a rapidly growing population, which is putting a great deal
/collections/africa/p
of stress on the country's forests by increasing demand for firewood,
roducts/uganda
pushing agricultural expansion, and expanding land settlement. As a
result, Uganda now has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the
world. In Northern Uganda, much of the forest has been cleared for
charcoal production, degrading wildlife habitat and presenting a
hardship for local farmers.
USA (California) onetreeplanted.org If you happen to venture into these pristine landscapes, you'll find
/collections/united-
yourself immersed in majestic forestry where giant coastal redwoods
states/products/cali
fornia-forests
take the stage, often surrounded by rare plants. Unfortunately, five
years of drought and large-scale bark beetle infestation have seriously
damaged these once-thriving forests. Not to mention, 2017's
record-breaking wildfire season burned more than 1.3 million acres –
an area the size of Delaware. 2020's fire season has consumed close to
3 million acres, resulting in hundreds of millions of trees that must be
restored. Together, let's restore California's forests so that we can
continue to enjoy their natural beauty for many years to come!
USA (Florida) onetreeplanted.org Florida is home to 37 state forests, covering over 1,070,000 acres.
/collections/united-
Healthy forests provide citizens with sustainable wood production,
states/products/flor
ida-forests
fresh air, wildlife habitat, clean water, enjoyable outdoor recreation
and quality of life. Yet in recent years, unhealthy forests have been
major contributors to Florida's disastrous wildfires and unprecedented
outbreaks of southern pine beetles. The region is frequently hit by
strong storms and hurricanes, contributing severe, long-term damage
to forest resources.
USA (Oregon) onetreeplanted.org Deforestation isn't just happening in well-known global hotspots like
/collections/united-
Indonesia and Brazil's rainforest. A new analysis says forests are also
states/products/ore
gon-trees
shrinking on state and private land in Oregon, where an estimated
522,000 acres of forest cover have disappeared since 2000. That's an
area six times larger than the city of Portland, equal to more than half
of Oregon's designated state forests.
