Reforestation: Bringing the Trees Back to Life

Every minute the size of 50 football pitches is lost to deforestation. Help us plant a brighter future for all

Deforestation is a global issue that is having increasingly larger effects on the world every day. It contributes 10% to climate change and global warming, which is why a large number of our efforts are going towards preserving large forest areas as well as reforesting the areas that have been affected to try a minimise the effects. By doing this we can combat land degradation, minimise natural disasters and preserve critical natural habitats.

Due to the fast pace that deforestation is occurring all over the world, it seems like an intense issue to combat, especially since the lack of education around this topic makes t difficult for some to understand the urgency of this issue. Between 2015 and 2020, we lost around 10 million hectares of land every year, most of this for agricultural use. However overwhelming this may seem, the efforts of communities around the world have made a huge difference in combatting deforestation through the preservation of important areas and reforesting degraded areas.

Yet we rely on these trees to protect our wildlife, for medical research and to ensure we can breathe. Currently, we estimate 10 million hectares per year are being destroyed and this is why this project is vital, we are planting tree’s as quick as we can fundraise because if we don’t do this today our future will be very different

This project aims to combat the effects of deforestation in locations around the world by replanting trees in degraded areas, making sure land is being efficiently used, preserving at-risk forest areas as well as educating the community on the effects of climate change and the role deforestation has to play. We will also implement nurseries in severely degraded areas, this will allow plants to flourish and become strong enough until they are ready to be transported and replanted in these areas so that they will survive and be effective in reforesting the area.

The long-term impact of this project has major benefits by contributing to the reduction of soil erosion, impacts on native species and degradation of habitats, as well as making a significant contribution to combatting climate change. Our earth forests also act as a natural filter for the air and surrounding water sources which helps to stop air pollution and keep water sources safe for drinking By taking Action Now to Change the Future we can save our Earth!

Mangrove Planting is So Much Fun

By Tyrone Bennett | CEO of Action Change

I am thrilled to share that thanks to the generosity shown during the festive season, our first mangrove planting site is officially underway. It is a humble beginning, but it represents the first steps in a much larger vision to restore these critical coastal ecosystems. Watching these saplings take root is a reminder that even the smallest efforts can lead to massive environmental change.

We have a clear path forward, but to keep our team in the field and the seedlings growing, we are shifting our focus to a new phase of fundraising. Over the coming months, our volunteers are moving beyond traditional online donations and taking the mission into the community. We are planning a series of local events designed to bring people together, get our hands dirty, and raise the support needed to scale up our planting efforts.

Thank you for trusting us with your support and for being such a vital part of this growing forest.

Mangroves, Money, and Making a Difference!

By Masi | Volunteer

Hello tree lovers!

It’s been a quiet few months on the reforestation front but don’t worry, we’ve been keeping things alive and healthy! Thanks to your amazing support, the previous phase was a success, and now we’re looking ahead to some super exciting new planting opportunities. We actually took the last few months as a team to down tool, refresh and go back to meet our loved families, we

What’s next:
We’ve identified several new sites perfect for mangrove planting. These special trees aren’t just beautiful they protect coastlines, provide homes for fish and birds, and fight climate change in ways other trees can’t. We’re itching to get started, but here’s the catch: we need to raise awareness and funds to kick this off.

The plan for early 2026:

  • Expand our mangrove nurseries to grow healthy seedlings.

  • Organize fun, hands-on planting days with local communities.

  • Continue workshops to inspire local stewardship and love for the forests.

How you can help:
Right now, our project pot is nearly empty , so we need a little help topping it up. Every donation goes directly into planting and nurturing trees, and sharing this project with friends, family, or colleagues is just as powerful.

Even though it’s been quiet, the trees and our enthusiasm are still growing! With your help, 2026 will be the year we bring new mangroves, vibrant ecosystems, and thriving communities back to life.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s get planting!

Trees are going in the ground

By Alana | Tree Planter

Hi everyone,

Quick update from the reforestation front thank you for being part of this!

Thanks to amazing support from 36 donors, we’ve now raised £3,275 of our £4,500 goalThat means just £1,225 left to fully fund our current phase of planting and nurturing trees in degraded forest areas.

Here’s what your support is enabling:

Since we began, our teams have:

  • Set up tree nurseries, preparing seedlings in regions hit hardest by deforestation.

  • Helped replant native tree species in degraded areas to fight soil erosion, revive wildlife habitats, and combat climate change—with reforestation contributing around 10% of global climate solutions.

  • Run community workshops on forest care, tree planting, and preserving at-risk areas to build local commitment and long-term success.

These efforts are more than planting trees they’re connecting communities to their environment, creating stable ecosystems, and restoring natural filtration of air and water .

We’re excited by how far we’ve come but there’s still more to do. With just over £1,200 to go, here’s what the next phase includes:

  • Expanding nursery capacity to grow more seedlings

  • Organizing additional planting days in targeted deforestation sites

  • Running outreach events to build ongoing community stewardship

Thank you for making this project possible. Together, we’re not just planting trees we’re bringing forests and futures back to life.
