BBC EARTH'S ECO SEASON IN ASSOCIATION WITH ONE TREE PLANTED
100K TREES FOR GLOBAL ACTION
IT TAKES A PLANET TO SAVE A PLANET.
We are pleased to support BBC Earth’s Eco Season by planting 100,000 trees across 8 countries, in Asia, Europe, and Africa. BBC Earth is a factual channel available in these regions which celebrates nature, science, space and the human race, bringing you closer to the sheer wonder of this amazing planet we call home. Their Eco Season consists of a special collection of films in a series that showcases Earth’s outstanding beauty, and highlights the fragile nature of its existence. The landmark programming will take you on a journey of discovery and deeper understanding of the world we live in and how we can all protect it.

TREES IN ASIA + THE PACIFIC
One Tree Planted's projects across Asia and the Pacific are helping rebuild the habitat of critically endangered species and are creating jobs and providing sustainable, long-term income for communities so people and forests can live together in harmony.
PLANTING projects
Our partners in the Philippines are working hard to restore forest ecosystems with local people. Efforts are centred on habitat restoration for endangered species, safeguarding community watersheds and sustainable development through agroforestry and tree planting.
Trees in EuropE
Our European projects seek to re-establish woodland, improve water and soil quality, and create habitat for wildlife in areas that were historically forested.
PLANTING PROJECTS
This tree planting project will restore native woodlands to an area where deforestation occurred centuries ago. The restored woodland will provide a valuable habitat for plants, birds and animals. A much greater diversity of species is supported in native woodland so the creation of this forest will have significant biodiversity benefits for a range of plants, animals, invertebrates and birds.
TREES IN south africa
We're working with local nurseries and community groups in Cape Town and surrounding townships while supporting a long term goal of reforesting communities.
PLANTING PROJECTS
- CAPE TOWN
The planted trees will go on to support Western Cape Town and the barrier that is needed in local communities to protect lands from wind breaks. In addition, this project will provide ecological and community benefits like increasing biodiversity habitat, promotion of green spaces, provide jobs to local communities, and sequester carbon.
WHY TREES?
Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines. Have you ever taken Aspirin? It comes from the bark of a tree!
At One Tree Planted we like to refer to the six pillars as just some of the reasons why trees are so vital...
