The lungs of the planet
Plant 10 trees to help to restore the unique Torotorofotsy Wetlands in Madagascar 🌳🌳
The phrase "the lungs of the planet" isn't just poetic; it's profoundly accurate. Trees, in their quiet magnificence, are nature's air purifiers, absorbing carbon dioxide and breathing out the oxygen we so dearly depend on.
The Torotorofotsy Wetlands, one of Madagascar's treasures, embody this sentiment but are under peril due to destructive human activities. The good news is local initiatives have taken on the mission to rejuvenate and reconnect with nature. It's an expansive endeavour, tying together ecological renewal and community upliftment. As degraded patches slowly transform into lush green canopies, these forests not only serve as habitats for unique biodiversity but also as a testament to the power of concerted human effort.
Every tree you contribute towards is a step closer to a greener, more sustainable future. With each addition, we're increasing forest cover as well as mending a patchwork quilt of fragmented rainforests. Behind every sapling is a story: of local communities shifting paradigms, of seeds germinating with hope, and of forests regaining their lost glory. Let's deepen our commitment to the planet's lungs and ensure that they breathe strong and free.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
