Ecosia - The search engine that plants trees
Ecosia is a search engine that invests 80% of its profits
from online advertising in afforestation projects
around the world.
Planting trees is good for the climate, people and nature.
Healthy forests create sources of income for local people,
an important habitat for animals and a stable eco-system.
So you can easily contribute to environmental protection

Why Ecosia plants trees worldwide
Trees are the basis for an intact environment,
healthy people & a peaceful future.

• Cooler climate
  Trees absorb CO2,
  one of the main causes of climate change.
  Larger forest areas can even form clouds,
  which in turn reflect the sunlight
  and cool our planet.

• More trees - More rain
  More trees also means more rain,
  because the trees evaporate water,
  forming clouds in the sky.
  And more water means more plant vegetation,
  which is the food basis for humans and animals.

• Biodiversity
  Forests are the most complex living systems on land
  and have millions of species.
  Biodiversity is promoted by planting a wide variety
  of trees worldwide (tree planting projects).

• The forest - the basis of human life
  Forests provide us with healthy food
  and many other natural products
  that can be harvested sustainably.
  Worldwide, the livelihood of 1.6 billion people
  depends on forests.

• Clean air
  Trees produce oxygen for breathing.
  They also purify the air by filtering harmful gases
  and dirt particles out of it.

• Regulation of the water balance
  Forests regulate the water balance
  and prevent flooding.
  They create a humid microclimate
  and raise the groundwater level.
  They also act as a kind of sponge
  and thus prevent droughts.

• Soil protection
  Forests protect the soil from erosion
  and form fertile land.
  After a short time, deforestation of trees
  inevitably leads to deserts.

Ecosia - Tree planting projects worldwide

Reforestation projects
Each of the reforestation projects financed by Ecosia
is implemented with specific methods
depending on local conditions and contributes
in different ways to the creation of new forests on Earth.

Burkina Faso (Africa) - Let's make the desert green
Ecosia supports the planting
and reforestation of the Sahel zone.
Ecosia's reforestation partner OZG is planting trees there
to stop a further spread of the Sahara desert
and to make the land fertile again.
The planted trees are drought-resistant
and bring back vegetation and food
for humans and animals.

Tansania (Africa) - Promoting biodiversity
In Tanzania's Usambara Mountains
there is an exceptionally high biodiversity:
Almost a third of all the animals living here
are not found anywhere else in the world.
Ecosia's Partners
"The friends of the Usambara Society"
protect this valuable ecosystem
by combining agroforestry
with ecotourism and afforestation.

Nicaragua (Central America) - Reforestation Project
Ecosia's partner Fundacion dia
is running a reforestation project
in the Pacific lowlands of Nicaragua
because this region has suffered heavily
from deforestation in recent decades.
The project contributes to nature conservation,
secures the water supply and is a contribution
to global climate protection.
