Eden Reforestation Projects
Nonprofit organizationAbout
Eden: People+Planet, formerly known as Eden Reforestation Projects, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring natural landscapes and combating climate change. Founded in 2005, it focuses on reforestation and sustainable community development. The organization works in developing countries, employing local communities to plant, grow, and protect millions of trees annually. This approach not only creates jobs but also empowers communities to protect their environment. Eden has planted over 977 million trees across multiple countries, including Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, and Indonesia. Its methodology involves hiring local workers at fair wages, fostering a connection between communities and their land. This leads to improved livelihoods, increased biodiversity, and enhanced ecosystem services. Eden's efforts align with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in promoting sustainable economic growth and protecting terrestrial ecosystems. By engaging local communities, Eden ensures long-term forest protection and poverty alleviation.
