The projects were honored for showing how reforestation changes landscapes and communities
SHELBURNE, Vt., Nov. 5, 2026 — Global reforestation nonprofit One Tree Planted has won three honors in the Sustainability, Environment & Climate category at the 6th Annual Anthem Awards, the social impact arm of the Webby Awards presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS). Transforming Global Landscapes won a Silver Award in the Industry-Specific Program (Nonprofit) category. Earth is ART and Seeing Is Believing each won Bronze in the Campaign (Nonprofit) category.
“Restoration is transformative for communities and ecosystems, and storytelling is how we bring our supporters into the work,” said Marie Jones, Chief Impact and Brand Officer at One Tree Planted. “These honors reflect a team that turned satellite data, field reporting, and nature’s natural beauty into campaigns that resonated around the world. We’re thankful to the Anthem Awards for the recognition.”
Earth is ART revealed the ART inside E[ART]H, and invited people to help restore the beauty of the natural world. The campaign generated 1.36 million social impressions, nearly 440,000 video views, and more than 409,000 website visits. Seeing Is Believing, a before-and-after series built on satellite imagery and geospatial analysis, compresses years of recovery into seconds, including a four-year Costa Rica partnership that planted 10,000 trees across 23 hectares. Transforming Global Landscapes explains how One Tree Planted matches each project to its landscape, from wildfire restoration, mangroves, and urban forestry, to agroforestry.
The awards come in a year when forests remain under heavy pressure. The world lost 25.5 million hectares of tree cover in 2025, an area larger than the United Kingdom, and fires caused 42% of that loss, according to the World Resources Institute.1 Restoration rebuilds wildlife habitat, stabilizes soil and watersheds, and helps landscapes hold up against more frequent drought and fire.
“Each of these campaigns set out to help people understand what restoration looks like on the ground,” said Hank Lynch, president and CEO of One Tree Planted. “When people see a forest return, they understand why the work matters and want to be part of it. We’re grateful to the Anthem Awards and to everyone in our community who voted for these stories.”
The three wins marks the second year in a row One Tree Planted has been recognized for its work by the Anthem Awards
