OrganizationAbout
Eden: People+Planet, formerly known as Eden Reforestation Projects, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring natural landscapes and empowering local communities in developing countries. Founded in 2005, it operates in multiple nations, including Ethiopia, Madagascar, Nepal, Haiti, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, and Central America. The organization employs thousands of local community members, providing them with fair wages and the necessary tools to plant, grow, and protect millions of trees annually. Eden's approach involves community engagement, employing locals to restore and protect their environments. This not only alleviates poverty but also helps restore biodiversity, improve soil health, and mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide. With over 977 million trees planted globally, Eden focuses on long-term sustainability, ensuring that reforested areas become self-sustaining ecosystems. The organization supports local economies and enhances environmental resilience, making it a leader in global reforestation efforts.
