About this project.
This project helps restore ecologically devastated mangrove estuaries in the northwest of the country. Mangrove forests are essential ecosystems whose dense roots serve as an anchor for the soil and coastline preventing erosion and creating a barrier between harsh ocean systems and land.

About Madagascar
Madagascar is more than just an island from an animated movie. It’s a nation with over 200,000 species of plants and animals that don’t exist anywhere else in the world. But more than 90% of Madagascar’s original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and taking away the Malagasy’s ability to farm and live on the land. Entire mangrove estuaries are gone, leaving the bare earth to wash away into the sea.

California
Devastated by wild fires this year, California needs our help now more than ever. We’re planting trees in the Plumas National Forest to help recoup the 65,000 acres burned in the 2007 Moonlight Fire.
Haiti
Haiti is the world’s 3rd hungriest country, and only 2% of the country’s original forests remain.
