Reforestation
Planet Earth needs more trees. Trees keep the global climate stable and regulate the water balance. Where there are trees, there is rain. And where there are trees, the soil is rich and absorbent. Protecting existing forests is just as important as reforesting deforested areas.
The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. Indigenous peoples have inhabited the rainforest since time immemorial and their very existence protects it. Protecting the rainforest means protecting indigenous peoples. And protecting indigenous peoples also means protecting the rainforest.
Future Shaping Ethics supports protection and reforestation in the same way that indigenous tribes do.
Treesisters
Treesisters is a global organization that has already planted 28,5 million trees with as little bureaucracy as possible. 80% of the donations go directly to tree planting, 15% to programs for women and they need 5% for administration.
Treesisters have been working with Indigenous tribes from the very beginning.
Treesisters hold the wisdom of togetherness.
