Africa: Plant Mangroves in Kenya
Mangroves are vital eco-systems as they can store up to 10 times more carbon per hectare than terrestrial forests, protect upto 152,000 kilometers of global coastline from erosion, and provide a habitat for over 3000 species of wildlife.
Whether you're commemorating a special occasion, honoring a loved one's memory, or simply seeking to make a positive impact on the planet, by planting mangrove trees, you will be able to maximize your impact, while creating a memorable experience for your gift receiver.

Our planting partners
We facilitate our tree planting through reputable, environmentally responsible organizations dedicated to fighting deforestation and extreme poverty. They employ local communities to plant native trees, restoring ecosystems and providing livelihoods for millions.
Why plant trees?
Trees are the earth's lungs
producing approximately 20% of the oxygen we breathe. A mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to four people per day.
Trees absorb CO2
a major contributor to climate change. A single mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds of CO2 annually. For example, a hectare of forest can sequester up to 30 tons of CO2 per year.
Trees provide habitats
for a wide range of species. The Amazon rainforest houses about 10% of the world's known species.
Trees prevent soil erosion
by binding soil together. In regions like the Loess Plateau in China, tree planting initiatives have reduced soil erosion by up to 90%.
Trees regulate water cycle
The Amazon rainforest, for example, releases water vapor through transpiration, which contributes to rainfall patterns across South America.
