Peru

One Dollar. One Tree.

From mountains and deserts to rainforests and beaches, Peri's landscape is teeming with life. Planting trees in Peru will help protect and safeguard these natural landscapes for years. Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Protect primary forests by safeguarding wildlife habitats
  • Improve the livelihoods of cacao-growing communities
  • Restore soil health through sustainable agroforestry
  • Peru is home to some of the most forested areas of any country in the world. More than half the country is covered in trees, making up about 260,000 square miles of forested areas. The abundance of trees makes Peru one of the most biodiverse countries in the world – home to iconic species like jaguars, black spider monkeys, poison dart frogs, and so many more. With over 330,000 people who depend directly on the Peru's forests for their livelihoods, One Tree Planted has made it a priority to protect, restore and reforest Peruvian forests.
  • The Amazon Rainforest spans across nine different countries with Peru being home to the second-largest portion of the iconic rainforest. With the Amazon recently listed as a one of the most threatened areas to deforestation, planting projects are aimed at protecting Peru's beautifully diverse forests and  restoring degraded land. The trees planted throughout the country will help safeguard wildlife habitats and impact local communities for generations by mitigating the effects of climate change and providing clean drinking water. Make an impact in Peru today by planting trees!
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you reports on our project in Peru, 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. Some species may include kapok trees, Blue Jacaranda, Quena, and more!
