Hi, 

Did you know that more than one in three species of trees are at risk of extinction worldwide? Over 16,000 species face threats from deforestation, urban development, invasive species, and climate change.¹ Trees are vital for life on Earth, providing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, and supporting ecosystems. Without them, our planet’s delicate balance is at risk.  

That’s why EARTHDAY.ORG’s The Canopy Project is taking action, planting trees worldwide to restore habitats, combat climate change, and support local communities. 

Plant a tree, protect a life.

In Kenya, we’ve planted fruit and nut trees that prevent flooding while providing food and income for farmers. In India, mangroves planted along coastal areas protect endangered wildlife like Bengal tigers and dolphins. And in California, we’ve worked to reforest areas devastated by wildfires, helping native species thrive again.  

Every tree planted is a step toward a healthier, more resilient planet — and you can be part of this global movement. Together, we can make a difference.

One tree at a time.

For preservation,

Kathleen Rogers
President
