One Tree Planted

We collaborate with partners in over forty countries, working in diverse ecosystems and planting millions of trees annually. So, how do we ensure to adapt to various scales and geographies, building trust with all partners? Check out our 5 pillars of monitoring 👇 📋 We partner with organizations that have a proven track record, reviewing detailed monitoring and maintenance plans before approval and maintaining personal relationships with each partner. 📊 We ensure comprehensive reporting and regular updates for the first three years to track tree survival and other success metrics, complete with GPS-tagged photos. 🚁 We leverage drone data for high-resolution monitoring and empower our partners to do the same. Additionally, we use commercial and public satellite imagery to monitor tree canopy cover, continuously developing ways to scale this program. 🌍 We stay at the current with monitoring technology by collaborating with industry leaders and conducting on-the-ground trials with a variety of cutting-edge tools. 👷♂️ For our "Keystone Partners" planting large numbers of trees, we conduct in-person visits with staff and forestry specialists to assess site performance and monitoring protocols, ensuring comprehensive oversight of landscapes, nurseries, seedlings, and operations. #Reforestation #TreePlanting #EnvironmentalSustainability #TechForGood #Drones #Monitoring

🎉 Celebrating 2 million trees planted 🎉 What an amazing milestone, felix mobile! Thank you to everyone who contributed, and here's to planting even more in the future! 🌱

The summer heat is rising... trees can help that. 🌡️🌳 In the face of urban heat islands intensified by climate change, low-income communities are hit hardest by scorching heat waves. Boosting tree cover on paved surfaces isn't just about aesthetics—it's a practical way to cool down neighborhoods and cut energy bills. Trees aren't evenly distributed across our cities The good news is, by planting more in underserved areas, we ensure everyone can enjoy cleaner air, cooler streets, and green spaces for all to relax and play. Let's keep planting and caring for trees in our communities to build healthier, more livable cities for everyone. 🏙️

When big companies make impactful strides towards sustainability, we notice. We were inspired to learn that Kimberly-Clark is setting ambitious goals to protect our forests. 🌳 Their commitment? Cut their use of natural forests for paper products by 50% by 2025 — and go completely natural forest-free by 2030. This is an important step towards safeguarding old-growth forests in Canada, Alaska, the Southeastern U.S., Brazil, and Chile — home to amazing biodiversity. Old-growth forests, also known as primary or ancient forests, have developed for a long period of time with minimal disruption. They play an essential planetary role, providing multi-layered habitat and sheltering sensitive species, contributing ecosystem services we rely on like clean air and drinking water, holding a lion’s share of the aboveground carbon stored in trees (carbon stored in living plant tissue), and more. Sadly, they're under threat due to climate change, wildfire, insect infestations, disease, deforestation, and other factors. But that’s not all! Kimberly-Clark plans to source 90% of their fiber sustainably, including by using recycled paper and working with responsibly managed forests. They're even exploring eco-friendly alternatives like eucalyptus and wheat straw. Now is the time to protect these vital ecosystems. Let's cheer on Kimberly-Clark and encourage more companies to follow suit! https://lnkd.in/ekw57MxU

Imagine if every community embraced trees like India does during Van Mahotsav! 🎉🌳 Each July, India comes together for this special festival dedicated to planting trees and preserving our environment. Since 1950, Van Mahotsav has highlighted the vital role of trees in maintaining ecological balance and protecting our planet. At One Tree Planted, we're dedicated to India’s greener future through our focus on planting fruit trees. Working alongside local communities across twelve states, we aim to fight hunger, support local economies, and combat climate change. 🌏 We wanted to acknowledge Van Mahotsav, as his festival is not just a celebration—it's a call to action that should inspire communities worldwide to join in planting trees for a greener, brighter future! 👏 #VanMahotsav #Reforestation #ClimateAction #Sustainability

June brought fantastic climate news! 🌏 → The EU's approval of the Nature Restoration Law is a game-changer, aiming to restore 20% of EU land and sea areas by 2030 and fully recover degraded ecosystems by 2050. This bold move will boost biodiversity and safeguard Europe's natural heritage for generations to come. → Additionally, remember our 7th grade science lessons on the ozone layer? Recent studies show promising results: global policies, including bans on harmful chemicals, have accelerated the ozone layer's recovery beyond expectations. This progress highlights the power of collective action in protecting our planet from harmful UV rays. Curious for more uplifting climate news from June? Visit our blog to discover these stories and more. https://lnkd.in/eM5qGBmv Let's celebrate these wins and continue working together to nurture and preserve our planet. 👏 #climatewins #sustainability #goodnews #climate #news

2024 Forest Fire Season Update 🔥 This summer alone, nearly 20,000 wildfires have ravaged over 2 million acres across the United States. A new report shows that "energetically extreme" wildfires—causing widespread environmental and economic damage—have doubled in frequency and intensity over the past two decades. Despite a global decline in fire incidents, the severity of extreme wildfires is increasing. Wildfire smoke poses significant health risks, contributing to nearly 16,000 excess deaths annually in the US. With projected emissions increases, this toll could soar to 28,000 deaths per year by 2050, exacerbating respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. To address these challenges, tackling the root cause—climate change—is a must. ➡️ Let's take action today: join our effort to restore degraded lands and mitigate future fire risks by planting trees. Together, we can protect communities, ecosystems, and public health from the growing wildfire threat exacerbated by climate change. Source: https://lnkd.in/exGEMiv3 #WildfireSeason #ClimateAction

Over the past two decades, fire-related tree cover loss in tropical regions has increased by approximately 36,000 hectares annually, contributing significantly to global tree cover loss from fires (Source: WRI). This underscores the critical need for action in wildfire-affected areas. At One Tree Planted, our Forest Fire Fund is dedicated to reforesting and restoring areas devastated by severe wildfires. By supporting natural regeneration processes, we strive to revive healthy, resilient, and biodiverse forests. When you plant trees for forest fire recovery, you're not just restoring landscapes — you're fostering economic resilience and restoring vital wildlife habitats. Join us in making a positive impact. Support the Forest Fire Fund today and help safeguard our natural ecosystems for future generations. https://lnkd.in/e-rBN_Pv #ForestFireFund #Reforestation #WildfireRecovery #ClimateAction #Sustainability

Reforestation is a powerful tool for fostering community growth, education, and economic empowerment worldwide. By planting trees, we can support impactful, community-led reforestation projects that make a difference. Planting trees for our communities involves: 🌳 Empowering female farmers with education and opportunities 🌳 Preserving traditions and cultural heritage 🌳 Increasing income for marginalized communities Join us in planting trees for a sustainable future and vibrant communities! https://lnkd.in/ey86cdj6 #Reforestation #CommunityEmpowerment #Sustainability

In the contiguous United States, urban trees remove an estimated 711,000 metric tons of air pollution every year. This is crucial because air pollution, including particulate matter like ozone, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide, is linked to numerous health issues such as bronchitic symptoms, glaucoma, heart attacks, vascular problems,, high blood pressure, cognitive development issues in children, heart failure, and increased mortality. 🌿 Learn more about how urban trees improve our air quality and health in our latest blog post! https://lnkd.in/epCAU6vC
