During Earth Month in April, attention turns to One Tree Planted, a nonprofit committed to global reforestation. Addressing climate change and deforestation is increasingly vital, making support for organizations like One Tree Planted essential.
Since its establishment in 2014, One Tree Planted has achieved significant progress in environmental conservation. Its mission focuses on simplifying environmental aid through tree planting, operating on the principle that each dollar donated facilitates the planting of one tree.
Trees hold immense importance, contributing significantly by:
- Absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, helping to mitigate climate change
- Preventing soil erosion and improving soil quality
- Providing habitats for diverse wildlife
- Conserving water and improving water quality
- Regulating local climates
- Offering economic benefits through sustainable forestry and tourism
One Tree Planted’s initiatives address six key areas: air, water, biodiversity, social impact, health, and climate. This comprehensive approach ensures that reforestation projects deliver widespread positive effects for both the environment and communities.

Partnership Impact
Since the collaboration with One Tree Planted started in 2021, the Humble community has played a crucial role in supporting this cause. A visual overview of contributions over the last four years is available on One Tree Planted’s Humble microsite.
An impressive milestone of 1.5 million trees planted across various continents is nearing. This partnership highlights the transformative potential of reforestation, focusing on areas with significant environmental issues like erosion, wildfire damage, and ecosystem degradation.
This strategic method of tree planting extends beyond merely adding trees; it involves reconstructing intricate ecological systems that sustain wildlife, stabilize land, and capture carbon. Reforestation acts as a potent driver for global transformation, tackling urgent concerns such as climate change, biodiversity decline, and ecosystem deterioration.
