Hi,

We are experiencing two pandemics: COVID-19 and the devastation of our planet.

After five months living under coronavirus, the link between human behavior and the risk of pandemic cannot be denied. When human activities shut down, we saw cleaner waterways, better air quality and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. But if we don’t implement a lasting green recovery, these gains will be fleeting. 

Reforestation is one way we can affect both pandemics. Healthy forests create jobs, food and sustainable communities, while replenishing the world’s trees helps sequester carbon and produces the oxygen we breathe. Healthy forests reduce risk of future pandemics by combatting ecosystem degradation that leads to spread of disease between animals and people.

Earth Day Network’s Canopy Project is at the forefront of the world’s reforestation efforts. Will you support a green recovery?

Donors like you have helped us plant hundreds of millions of trees from Uganda to Canada, Mexico, India and Madagascar over the past decade — including over 1 million new trees so far this year. Your donation goes directly to plant trees that restore vital habitats often in remote areas, and supports people who live in communities where trees are planted. 

Our reforestation communities are facing direct threats to their way of life from climate change. The pandemic is only exacerbating their situation. 

Your support is needed now more than ever to allow us to continue our work in these communities.

For recovery,

Kathleen Rogers
President
