2023 also marks the end of an intensive tree planting year with many highlights. Thanks to the NIKIN community, we were once again able to support tree planting projects of our partner One Tree Planted around the world this year. In this blog, we look back at the most interesting key figures, facts and highlights.
This year we have reached another incredible milestone - the NIKIN community has planted over 2 million trees in the 7 years since NIKIN launched! Without you, this would never have been possible and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
Picture: With your support, we are making a contribution to the conservation of forests.
Planting trees - a global task
Of these over 2 million trees, we planted around 333,000 trees in 2023. That's the equivalent of 4,000 football pitches - or about 11 football pitches a day! Most of these were planted in Greece, with just under 40,000 trees.
In total, we were able to contribute to greening and reforestation in 19 countries in 2023 - including Switzerland. On our two TreePlanting Days in 2023 in Grüningen (ZH) and Etagnières (VD), hard-working NIKIN supporters planted a total of 800 trees in Swiss forests.
In addition to the monthly projects, we are also supporting three tree-planting projects this year for special occasions. On the one hand, we planted trees in Denmark at the beginning of the year on behalf of all crowd investors. On the other hand, every product sold in our collaborations with Ochsner Shoes and the Stadtwächter brewery plants a Tree in Armenia and Belgium respectively.
A positive impact for nature and the community
The supported tree planting projects have various positive impacts on nature and the local population. The focus of each project is different: from the reforestation of mangroves to protect against flooding, the promotion of biodiversity and the preservation of natural habitats for insects to increasing the profitability of an agricultural region through natural plant combinations, everything is included. The involvement of the community is central to all projects, either to create long-term jobs and training positions or to train the local population directly.
NIKIN can only achieve this positive impact on nature and people thanks to you, the energetic community. We would like to thank you for the support, enthusiasm and love that you show us every day - and look forward to a shared 2024 with many planted trees and greening moments!
