{"id":23776,"title":"Buy a Tee and plant a tree","description":"We will plant a tree for every purchase made this weekend.","content":"

To make sure our planting efforts are as effective as possible, we partner with @teemill and tree-planting projects and organisations like Tree-Nation<\/a>. Most of our projects are international, where we can have the biggest impact.<\/p>

So far our partnerships have mostly contributed to projects that have reforested large areas of Madagascar. These projects have focused on maintaining natural biodiversity and combating deforestation, working in areas where the trees are needed the most.<\/p>

\"\"
Since our first Buy One Get One Tree campaign, together we've captured over 2 million kilos of CO2 by planting 44 football pitches of reforested land.<\/p>

These trees help keep the Madagascan coast line stable, diversifying and restoring the natural balance of nature, preserving the environment for native species and ecosystems. The project also offers long-term employment for the people that plant them.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Our collective donations support a lot more than the sowing of seeds. In Madagascar, \u200bour partners are also involved with wildlife conservation, protecting endangered species like chameleons and sea-eagles. A Nature Reserve nurses injured animals back to health and protects them from poaching. Planting and protecting forests gives them safer homes to return to, countering the effects of deforestation. \u2060<\/p>

Here you can see Josy, the National Director for the project we support in Madagascar, looking after the beautiful mangrove trees:<\/p>

Our partners work to address reforestation through a mixture of approaches. As well as directly seeding land with native seed species, they also employ methods like creating \u2018seed bombs\u2019 which contain seeds mixed with clay, compost and soil, ready to plant when the rainy season arrives.<\/p>

After the trees are planted, protecting them is vital. Patrols and guard towers watch for fires and keep the forests from getting cut down illegally or destroyed by natural disasters.<\/p>
