About Plant-for-the-Planet
Plant-for-the-Planet is a global movement to restore forest ecosystems to tackle the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. To do so, we empower young people, restore ecosystems, conduct restoration research, provide free software tools and restoration advice for organizations around the world.
We believe that we need to protect the world’s three trillion trees and bring back a further one trillion trees.
We are a partnership of independent national organisations, led by the Plant-for-the-Planet Foundation.
