HELPING TO PROTECT AND RESTORE OVER 20 BILLION TREES

Posted on 07 May 2021

Forests are central to the lives of people and wildlife around the world. And their ongoing destruction adds to runaway climate change, biodiversity loss, economic inequality and the risk of pandemic outbreaks. For the past four years, the Trillion Trees initiative has been striving to halt deforestation and restore forests. A partnership between WWF, BirdLife International, the Wildlife Conservation Society and Restore Our Planet, Trillion Trees has helped leverage support towards protecting 18.3 billion trees and restoring a further 1.8 billion. This work has ranged across 60 countries, including projects connecting 450,000 hectares of forest fragments to protect endangered species in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, and the planting of tens of thousands of indigenous tree seedlings to restore Mount Kenya's forest.
