Plant-for-the-Planet
is a global movement empowering young people
and organisations to restore forest ecosystems
and fight for climate justice.
To do so, we educate 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.
