Guatemala
One Dollar. One Tree.
Guatemala is a land full of volcanoes, mountains, sprawling beaches — and diverse native forests. Reforestation in Guatemala will help restore landscapes and stabilize the climate. Learn more
With your help, we will:
- Restore coastal mangroves
- Improve the livelihoods of communities
- Stabilize the soil and promote erosion control
- Guatemala has one of the most extensive and diverse forest systems in Central America. From mangrove forests to wetlands, Guatemala is home to an expansive range of ecosystems. Because of its topography, Guatemala is susceptible to landslides, floods, and other natural disasters. By planting trees across the country, we can help restore landscapes and empower local community members to make an impact in their environment.
- Most forest loss in Guatemala has resulted from agriculture and fuelwood collection. Population pressures around protected areas have resulted in illegal timber harvesting and land clearing for agriculture, even inside national parks. Planting trees in Guatemala will be the first step to restoring important lands for local communities and ecosystems. Each tree planted will help promote biodiversity, encouraging a healthier and thriving ecosystem.
- A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you reports on our Guatemala project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
- To maximize the impact of your donation, our partner will determine the most appropriate species of tree to plant, depending on the time of year. This project primarily focuses on planting exotic hardwoods and shade-dependent cacao plants.

About GUATEMALA
Guatemala has the second highest biodiversity in Central America (after Costa Rica). The country is home to 1,246 known species of animals and 8,681 species of plants, of which 13.5 percent are not found anywhere else in the world.
Most forest loss in Guatemala has resulted from agriculture and fuelwood collection. Population pressures around protected areas have resulted in illegal timber harvesting and land clearing for agriculture, even inside national parks.
Creating a sustainable model for communities to harness their natural resources is essential to improving Guatemala’s forests and the country's social wellbeing. Our partner has spent many years working with indigenous communities to build their trust. Almost 700 hectares of biodiverse land around Laguna Brava has been protected with the help of such local communities. Empowering people to look after their own land in an economically and environmentally sustainable way is key to this project.
Why Plant in GUATEMALA?
Stabilize climate
Forests are an essential part of our planet’s carbon and water cycles. A fully grown tree can release hundreds of liters of water in one day! Healthy trees absorb carbon dioxide and stabilize the climate.
Protect biodiversity
Guatemala is considered the 5th biodiversity hotspot in the world, with over 1,200 known species of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles. Healthy forests provide habitat for rare and endangered species.
Empower local communities
Planting valuable hardwoods and shade-dependent cacao provides a sustainable, diversified path to economic success and independence for local communities,
