Caveat: Tree-planting programs can backfire if they disrupt local ecosystems such as wetlands and arid areas. For example, when Canada planted spruce trees in swamps, this actually made them more susceptible to forest fires.
The current #TeamTrees program ensures that the trees planted are well suited to their local ecosystems. They’re aiming to raise $20M to plant 20 million trees around the world. I suggest donating to this campaign if you’re interested in reforestation.
