Regions

Every region we plant in is as unique as the wildlife and people who call it home, but what holds true no matter where you go is that reforestation changes lives for the better. From the Quenya Reymi festival high in the Andes mountains to community forests across England's countryside and koala habitats in Australia, we take daily inspiration from the grit, fortitude, and creativity of our reforestation partners and the communities they work with. 

As we head into 2024, we will continue to be a leader in reforestation efforts. We're excited to continue growing our strategic global partnerships, driving a new phase of growth in the reforestation space.

But first, let's dig in and celebrate all that we accomplished together in 2023!

A Year in Review

Every year, we are proud to share what we have accomplished, together. And while tree planting numbers are the simplest way to communicate the scale of reforestation impact, our work is informed by the understanding that reforestation is about more than planting trees. And we take that very seriously.

Every tree we plant represents hope for a greener future. In addition to creating important environmental benefits, our projects provide jobs, training, nutritious food sources and other life-changing resources to the communities that need them the most. 

In 2023, we worked with 315 planting partners through 394 projects in 72 countries. Through these projects, 242,458 farming families were supported, 5,336 women were involved, and 6,939 jobs were created.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the essential community benefits that reforestation can provide. In all our projects, tree species are carefully selected to ensure a balanced, long-lasting impact on nature and communities.

Kula Project stands as a distinguished and long-lasting partner in our mission to combat poverty through community empowerment and entrepreneurship training. The organization focuses on bolstering household businesses and livelihoods, working collaboratively with coffee communities in Rwanda.

Our collaboration with the Kula Project, initiated in 2019, marks one of our foundational partnerships in Rwanda. Over the years, we have jointly planted more than 600,000 trees and supported Kula Project's Fellowship programs. Notably, we supported their 15th-month fellowship program, benefitting more than 200 coffee-farming families each year. This program equips participants with essential inputs and training, thereby enhancing their coffee farms and overall harvests, leading to increased income.
