Trillion Trees is a joint venture between BirdLife International, Wildlife Conservation Society and WWF.

We came together to urgently speed up and scale up the positive power of forests, helping protect and restore forests to achieve one trillion trees by 2050, for the benefit of people, nature and a stable climate.

We do this by

Implementing work on the ground to protect and restore forests,
Influencing global policy and private sector practices, and
Inspiring us all to value, protect and restore forests.

With your help and support, we can live in a world where nature and people thrive.

why we should stay positive — and continue the fight

By John Lotspeich, Executive Director, Trillion Trees If you follow the news headlines about forest degradation, it’s easy to despair. But the first four years of Trillion Trees have shown there are reasons to hope — perhaps even 20 billion reasons, as our Executive Director John Lotspeich explains.

58.9m ha of regrown forests

It's not all bad news: Our new research shows that a total area of forests equivalent to the size of France have regrown in the last 20 years. Nearly 59 million hectares of forests – an area larger than mainland France– has regrown since 2000, according to new analysis from Trillion Trees.

20 billion trees protected & restored

From working to connect 450,000 hectares of forest fragments to protect endangered species in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, to planting tens of thousands of indigenous tree seedlings to restore Mount Kenya's forest, Trillion Trees has gone from strength to strength in its first four years. Since 2016, Trillion Trees partners have been supporting the protection of more than 18.3 billion trees and the restoration of over 1.8 billion trees.
