One Tree Planted

ONE TREE PLANTED

A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON GLOBAL REFORESTATION

OUR VISION

We want to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Together we can restore forests, create habitat for biodiversity, and make a positive social impact around the world.

We plant one tree with every US dollar donated.


With 
over 123 million hectares of unique and varied native forests, Australia has the seventh largest forest area in the world, making up 3% of the Earth's forests.
Australia's forests range from ancient Gondwana rainforest and tropical mangroves to extensive bush lands made up of native acacia, melaleuca and eucalyptus trees. Your donation will help to plant millions of trees across Australia to recover forests affected by the 2019-20 Black Summer Bushfires and restore native habitat vital for wildlife.

DEFORESTATION IN AUSTRALIA

Map of Fires Alerts in Australia

The combination of low precipitation and record high temperatures during Australia’s most recent (2019–20) summer season, resulted in dramatic wildfires across the country that drew global attention. It is estimated that more than 1 billion animals were killed in the fires. For example, some 8,000 koalas may have perished in last year’s bushfires, and the loss of eucalyptus trees and water supply will continue to affect them as recovery slowly starts to take place. About 30% of their key habitat has been destroyed. 

Australia’s forests need active management in order to improve their health, protect wildlife, and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires in the future. Our projects work with local landowners and environmental organisations to improve the health of Australian forest and bush lands. 

As well as recovering fire-damaged lands, your support for reforestation in Australia will help restore habitat for native species that depend on these environments, such as koalas, echidnas, sugar gliders and other wildlife found nowhere else in the world. 

WHY PLANT TREES?

PROTECT WILDLIFE 

Restoring forests also means restoring habitat critical to conserving Australia's unique wildlife. Healthy forest ecosystems support higher biodiversity and are more resilient to the stressors of climate change.

Planting native tree species

RESTORE NATIVE FORESTS

Reforestation efforts assist native vegetation in growing back, while also improving soil quality, preventing erosion, and controlling invasive species - which can be particularly aggressive after forest fires without intervention.

REDUCE THE IMPACT OF BUSHFIRES

Help us prevent bushfires in Australia from spreading catastrophically. Young, healthy forests can help suppress future wildfires and reduce the impact of smoke on public health and native ecosystems..
