This forest was bare... until your searches helped bring it back 💚 At Ecosia’s very first planting site in Brazil, 12 years and 17,986 trees later, what was once degraded land is now growing back into forest. Planted together with The Nature Conservancy, and funded by your searches 🌳 Get the Ecosia app and help us do more of this! #reforestation #brazil #ecosia

Me watching my searches help bring nature back 🌱 These before-and-afters are proof that forests can come back when we give them the chance 💚 Behind every transformation are years of reforestation work with local communities and partners who refuse to give up on this planet. Your searches help make more of this possible around the world. Download @ecosia@mastodon.social and help us bring more forests back 🌳 #reforestation #ecosia

We're working over 600 farming families in Kenya to plant trees, restore land, and improve livelihoods. Joseph and Mary have been planting trees since 2023, and now have almost 100 fruit trees on their small farm. They're seeing better fruit yields, healthier soil, and more income to support their family. This is what progress looks like. All funded by your Ecosia searches 🌱 #reforestation #ecosia

Sometimes the best thing you can do to restore a forest is… nothing 🌱 This project with our partner GEOTA in Portugal is a good reminder that restoring forests isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some areas are being left to regenerate naturally. Others are being restored by planting a mix of native species. The more we learn about how landscapes recover after fire, the better we can understand when to step in and when to let nature do its thing 💚 #ecosia #reforestation #wildfires

'The Japanese capital's high-rise business districts are often described as "concrete jungles" because of their stark urban landscape, and have increasingly been cited as a contributor to the heat island effect. In recent years, however, more greenery has begun appearing in the Otemachi area close to Tokyo Station, creating pockets of cooler air.' 'On a day when the ground surface beside the intersection reached 47.3 C, producing intense reflected heat, the surface temperature inside the forested area was 31.9 C, while that of the nearby sidewalk was 32.2 C.' https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20260915/p2a/00m/0sc/004000c #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Tokyo #Japan #Reforestation #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #HeatIsland

Good idea: Plant cork forests to stop wildfires https://wwf.panda.org/es/?20933%2FFighting-forest-fires-with-cork-in-Portugal= Portugal keeps losing massive stretches of forest to wildfires, and a big part of the problem is eucalyptus. It's a fast growing cash crop that burns like a match. Cork oak trees are the opposite. Their thick bark is a natural fire retardant that burns slowly, produces no toxic smoke, and actually acts as a firebreak. The trees survive and regenerate after fires instead of fueling them. On top of that, cork forests hold water in the soil, prevent erosion, absorb around 6 tons of CO2 per hectare, and support one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, on par with the Amazon. They also provide a sustainable income since cork bark regrows and can be harvested every nine years without harming the tree. WWF and others are already working on replacing burned eucalyptus monocultures with native cork oak to make the landscape more resilient. It's not a quick fix, but it's one of those rare solutions that's good for the economy, the ecosystem, and fire prevention all at once. #GoodIdeas #Reforestation #fire #Wildfire #Prevention #Nature #Sustainability

Your Ecosia searches gave these forests a second chance 🌳 These before and afters are the result of years of reforestation work with local communities and restoration partners around the world 💚 Every search on Ecosia helps us plant native trees where they are needed most, turning degraded landscapes back into thriving forests that support people and wildlife. If you haven’t already, download Ecosia and help us bring more forests back 🌱 #reforestation #ecosia

Somewhere, a forest is growing back because of you 💚 These are just a few of the places where we’re able to plant trees thanks to your Ecosia searches 🌳 We work with local communities and restoration partners to plant biodiverse, native trees where they’re needed most. Together, we’re restoring forest ecosystems and creating healthier landscapes for people and wildlife 🐒 Over 250 million trees planted so far.

This is what a forest recovering after a wildfire looks like. This landscape in Verdelhos, Portugal, has burned 4 times. But in this plot, we’re not planting any trees 🌳 It’s easy to assume that bringing back a forest always means planting. That’s not true. After a fire, surviving roots and stumps can resprout, while seeds can germinate 🌱 So here, together with our partner GEOTA, we’re letting the forest regenerate naturally and monitoring which vegetation returns. #wildfires #reforestation

Your searches on Ecosia helped bring this landscape back to life in Ethiopia 🌳 Together with our partner Green Ethiopia, we’ve planted 20,000 trees here since 2017. These trees are already making a huge difference for people and wildlife: they’re cooling the land, restoring water cycles and stopping the soil from washing away 💚 Keep searching to help us restore even more landscapes! #ethiopia #reforestation #ecosia

We set up trail cams in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains… and this is who showed up 🥹 The Carpathians are home to some of Europe’s most iconic wildlife — but years of farming and grazing have pushed wildlife out of parts of this landscape. Together with our partner Transylmagica, we’re restoring native forests, and wildlife is beginning to return with them. Every search with Ecosia helps fund projects like this 💚 #rewilding #romania #carpathians #reforestation

I won't blame anyone but I will emphasize this:. whenever you cut down one tree, please replace it with at least two or even five. Every tree we plant is an investment in our future. #climatecrisis #reforestation #PlantTrees #climateactionnow #protectnatureplease

Wait… that’s the same place? 🌳👀 These before and afters are the result of years of reforestation work with local communities and restoration partners around the world 💚 Every search on Ecosia helps us plant native trees where they are needed most, turning degraded landscapes back into thriving forests that support people and wildlife.

The first signs of recovery came with the monsoon, when a grass cover sprouted over the land. “Every day was a surprise after that,” he says. Soon, insects returned, followed by woodland birds like orioles, barbets and hornbills. The park is now home to diverse forms of life, including amphibians, invertebrates and several mammals like nilgai and the jungle cat. #rewilding #india #cities #urbanrewilding #ecology #nativeplants #reforestation

Mowed valley. On paper, this is a peat bog. As you can see, there is no peat, nor is it particularly boggy, except behind those alders on the right hiding a small river. We pointed this out and were promptly informed it doesn't matter, peat bogs are irrevocable. Good for us. Plowing peat bogs is forbidden, therefore this is no longer valued arable land. Which apparently means we're allowed to let it go and reforest itself or help along with tree plantings. So from next year, this will not be mowed except to maintain a forestry road down the length of it. I hope to live long enough to see a small forest here. #Valley #Homestead #Meadow #Reforestation

Thin stump monday or whatever. Third is a bonus picture by the title "a stump is not the end" and a prime example of microreforestation, if that's a thing. #TreeStump #reforestation #nature
