On June 5
th 2022,
World Environment Day, the UN is calling for
“collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet”. For years our
Plant a Tree supporters have been achieving exactly that – you can read about your impact
here – but more work still needs to be done in this crucial decade for the Earth.
Reviving our degraded ecosystems has never been more important. It's no wonder the UN has proclaimed 2021-2030 as the
UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Scientists have identified this as the last decade we have to prevent catastrophic climate change, and through Plant a Tree, you can participate in this global effort while also fighting against poverty and biodiversity loss.
All it takes is £5 to plant a tree with WLT, a fee that covers the collection of the seed, its nurturing in a nursery, and its ongoing care during the first 3-4 years of the tree’s life so that it gets the best start possible. Our partners will even replace the sapling if it doesn’t take hold. By donating, you’ll also be supporting sustainable livelihoods for local people – check out the Plant a Tree project reports below for more info.
The tagline for this year’s World Environment is a powerful one:
#OnlyOneEarth. Our shared home has suffered enough. Let’s join together to heal the damage for the good of all livings things, and all those who will come after us. You have the power to make a difference!
