An estimated 18 million acres of forest are DESTROYED each year. We need your help to plant trees and combat the loss worldwide.
Trees are essential for life on Earth. They combat climate change, provide oxygen to breathe, regulate temperature through shade and wind breaks, and clean the air, water and soil. They also help prevent soil erosion and provide food and shelter.
Yet humans are destroying an estimated 18 million acres of forest each year, the equivalent of about 36 football fields of trees lost every minute. (Sources: National Geographic, UN-FAO, WWF, One Tree Planted)
One of the most critical regions impacted by deforestation is Madagascar, home to some of the world's most unique and endangered species, including lemurs, chameleons, and countless endemic plants. Madagascar has lost nearly 90% of its original forests, leaving wildlife populations struggling to survive. Reforestation efforts are vital not just for biodiversity but for local communities that rely on healthy forests for their livelihoods.
Greater Good Charities has partnered with North Florida Wildlife Center and Green Again Madagascar to restore these precious ecosystems. Through this initiative, local Malagasy teams are employed to plant trees and rehabilitate degraded land, ensuring long-term ecological and economic benefits. Every tree planted helps rebuild the habitat of critically endangered lemurs and other species while supporting sustainable livelihoods for the people of Madagascar.
