TREES AND FORESTS ARE IMMEASURABLY PRECIOUS. They provide shelter, fuel, medicine and nutrition and are central to many spiritual and cultural beliefs. Perhaps most importantly, THEY ENABLE US TO BREATHE. The International Tree Foundation has been protecting and planting trees for over 80 years. We support projects that achieve the twin goals of IMPROVING LIVES AND HEALING THE PLANET.

Biodiversity

Over 50% of the world’s species live in tropical forests alone - despite this we destroy around 124,000 acres of these forests every day. Find out more about our work here.

Justice

Forests are a hugely contested resource, with people’s right  to use and access them often sacrificed to commercial interests. Find out more about our work here.
