Trillion Trees
Our vision for a trillion trees to be restored, saved from loss, and better protected around the world, by 2050.
Project overview
Trillion Trees is a partnership of three of the world’s largest conservation organisations – WWF, BirdLife International and the Wildlife Conservation Society. We are founded on a vision of a world where tree cover is expanding not contracting.
- We work together and use our decades of experience and expertise in fighting deforestation and restoring forests.
- We provide targeted support to close the gap between commitments to protect and restore forests and the reality on the ground.
- We connect ambitious initiatives to forward-thinking funders and investors to create partnerships that deliver for forests around the world, and inspire others to do the same.
Why we're doing it
Forests cover almost a third of the earth’s surface. But we’re losing them at an alarming rate and this threatens the prosperity of people and nature.
The goals of zero deforestation and restoring forest landscapes are firmly on the political and corporate agenda, but are not having the impact they should. Companies are struggling to deliver on their pledges. Funders are not being offered the right investments, and frontline programmes are still finding it difficult to secure funding.
That’s why we’re initiating new projects, supporting existing ones and bringing the right funding to the right action for the right trees in the right places.
Project impact so far
Through our Trillion Trees partnership, we are almost halfway to achieving our 2030 goal of protecting and restoring 125 million hectares of forest around the world, having helped to protect and restore over 60 million hectares of forest so far. For example, as of 2025, through the Trillion Trees ReForest Fund, our partner teams have grown over 712,000 trees across 21 landscapes, restoring 1,177 hectares of critical forest habitat spanning Latin America and Mesoamerica to Africa and Asia and benefitting over 26,000 people. These forests can sequester over 280,000 tonnes of carbon as they grow over the next 20 years![1]
