Together with our community and our partner One Tree Planted, we are committed to tree planting campaigns around the world. In May, we are supporting the reforestation of mangrove forests in Bangladesh. Find out in this blog why the project is so important and what you can do.
Mangroves play an important ecological role and provide a habitat for many animals and plants. They protect coastlines from erosion, tsunamis and storms and act as carbon sinks. However, they are highly endangered due to climate change.

Threatened ecosystems: The Sundarbans mangroves
The Sundarbans mangroves, the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world, are particularly threatened. Our aim is to counteract the disappearance of the mangroves by actively planting trees and thus preserving this unique ecosystem for future generations.

Protecting coastal communities
Our tree planting project in May provides an opportunity to conserve the Sundarbans while creating new livelihoods for coastal communities. We are following the nine steps for community-based ecological mangrove restoration (CBEMR) to ensure long-term benefits for local communities. This includes, for example, education and training to equip residents with the knowledge and skills they need to protect and sustainably use the mangrove forests.

What you can do
For every product sold in May, we plant a Tree in Bangladesh. You can become part of the movement and help us to preserve the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world. By the way: Have you already tried the TreeTracker on our website? With your order number, you can easily track where your trees have been planted.
