Reforestation 🤝 Community! Trees have a unique way of bringing people together, and remind us that we're all connected. Whether it’s a local tree-planting event, a community garden, or a school project, planting a tree becomes a shared experience that brings us all a little bit closer! These efforts create spaces where individuals can work side by side, share stories, and learn from each other. It’s a simple but powerful way to strengthen the community and build a sense of belonging. Every tree planted is a step towards a more resilient, connected, and thriving world. Give it up for the power of trees! 👏

We love sharing positive climate news, and August brought plenty to celebrate! From London's innovative green rooftops that are helping rare bees and orchids thrive, to Canada’s new monarch habitat restoration program, these efforts show how small actions can make a big impact on biodiversity and urban sustainability. 👏 Dive into our blog to explore more uplifting environmental stories! 🌱 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #PositiveChange https://lnkd.in/edM9yrkt

Mangrove forests are true powerhouses for our planet—storing 10x more carbon than mature tropical forests, offering vital habitat for countless species, and serving as nature’s frontline defense for vulnerable communities against intensifying storms. We’re proud to work with over 100 organizations in the Global Mangrove Alliance, all committed to saving and restoring mangrove forests. Together, we’re aiming to stop mangrove loss, restore 50% of lost mangroves by 2030, and double the area of protected mangroves around the world. Every year, the Global Mangrove Alliance releases a report that shines a spotlight on the inspiring strides we’re making together, showcasing the innovative tools and frameworks that are driving our success. 🌍🌱 While we recommend digging into the report to gain a fuller picture of the status and importance of mangrove forests, we've covered 4 key takeaways you should know about: https://lnkd.in/g7ZiCaNQ

As we mark #WorldWaterWeek, it's a reminder that water is essential to life, yet increasingly threatened. 💧 From sustaining ecosystems to supporting communities, clean water is crucial for our planet's health. However, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation are putting this resource at risk. We’re doing our part by planting trees, which help keep our water clean. Trees act like natural filters, catching pollutants, reducing soil erosion, and improving the water quality in rivers and streams. Forests also play a big role in regulating water cycles, making sure both nature and communities have access to fresh water. This week, let’s reflect on the steps we can take to protect our water sources. Whether it's conserving water at home, supporting clean water initiatives, or advocating for sustainable practices, every action counts.

#Forests are far more than just a collection of trees; they are rich, complex ecosystems teeming with life. 🌳 From the smallest insects to the largest mammals, forests provide a habitat for 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. By protecting these vital spaces, we are safeguarding countless species and ensuring the health and balance of our planet. 🌍🐻

Palm oil is everywhere—it's in about half of the products we find at the supermarket. Over the years, the demand for palm oil has skyrocketed, with 79.53 million metric tons produced in 2023/2024. That’s a 2% increase from last year and makes up about 35% of the world’s vegetable oil. Palm oil is popular because it’s super productive and useful in many ways, playing a big part in food security and economic growth. But this widespread use comes at a price. Expanding palm oil plantations is a leading cause of deforestation and habitat loss, especially in tropical areas of Asia, Central America, and South America. Balancing the need for palm oil with protecting our environment is tricky. That’s why it’s more important than ever to push for sustainable practices that safeguard our planet while still meeting global needs. 🌱 #Sustainability #PalmOil #EnvironmentalImpact #Deforestation

Did you know that in 2022, agriculture accounted for 10% of the United States' greenhouse gas emissions? As climate change intensifies, the connection between how we produce our food and the climate crisis becomes impossible to ignore. The science is crystal clear: our farming practices are a major driver of climate change. To safeguard our planet, we need to cut emissions from this sector — and we need to do it now. 🌍

🌳 509,500 Trees Planted in Australia! 👏 This isn’t just about planting trees—it’s a community effort that’s creating local jobs in tourism, vegetation, and pest management. This project is part of the Yorke Peninsula’s 20-year Marna Banggara program, working to connect habitats, improve wildlife spaces, and boost the ecosystem’s resilience. One key beneficiary is the critically endangered Brush-tailed Bettong (Woylie), a small but crucial animal that helps with seed dispersal and soil health. By enhancing its habitat and linking it to other Woylies, we're giving this species a better chance to thrive. #Reforestation #Biodiversity #CommunitySupport #WildlifeConservation #Australia

Steve Irwin really hit the nail on the head when he said, "If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves." It's a simple truth that hits home as we tackle today’s environmental challenges. Here at One Tree Planted, we’re all about planting trees to help our natural habitats thrive. Whether you are an individual looking to make a difference, a company aiming to enhance your sustainability goals, or an influencer passionate about promoting environmental causes, your support is crucial. Help plant trees to ensure a greener future. 🌏 https://lnkd.in/dxd7wwxJ

Forest fires are becoming more frequent and severe, with the UN predicting a 50% increase in extreme fires by the end of the century. What's behind this alarming trend? Climate change, rising temperatures, land-use changes, and human activities are all contributing to the surge in forest fires. But there’s hope: reforestation efforts play a critical role in combating these fires. 🔥 By restoring natural ecosystems, we can reduce the risk of devastating fires, support biodiversity, protect wildlife habitats, and improve air quality. Let’s work together to protect our planet for future generations. 🌍
