Become a Tree Planting Volunteer

Life couldn’t exist without trees. 

Currently, the world faces the challenges of climate change and wildlife preservation, along with having to support billions of people. We need solutions. And trees could hold the answer.

After all, trees provide oxygen and store carbon. They give humans fuel, food, medicine, building materials, and more. And they shelter animals and anchor the soil. 

Sadly, the number of trees has been decreasing. Since humans have started chopping down trees, the global number of trees has declined by 46%, according to a study published by Nature. While forests still cover 30% of the earth’s surface, World Bank research shows we’ve lost 1.3 million square kilometers of trees since 1990 (that’s larger than South Africa). 

Alarmed? 

Don’t panic. Not all is lost. 

You can do your part to turn the tides. Right now, you can volunteer to plant trees around the globe, from New Zealand, to the Philippines, to Spain, to the United States, and to Thailand with a volunteer organization. By doing so, you’ll make the world a greener, healthier place. And that will benefit people and animals.
