Because our polar ice caps are melting faster than anyone imagined possible, keeping the planet cool rests on the shoulders of tropical forests. When we plant trees to restore forests, we are helping to create 37% of the CO2 needed to stop the earth’s temperature from rising. Forests can stop runaway global heating, encourage rainfall, guarantee clean water, reduce air pollution, and provide livelihoods for local people and reserves for wildlife. Here at WildMint we believe that all forms of life, in all its diversity is beautiful, are valuable and important. And even though planting a tree may seem like a small effort in light of all there is to do, we also know that every tree helps!
