The tree planting sponsored by Gobe customers has benefits that extend far beyond environmental protection.
Rural villagers in Nepal are some of the poorest in the world and directly depend on their natural environment for food, shelter and income. When local ecosystems are damaged, the poor are the first to suffer.
Employing locals to plant trees helps lift them out of extreme poverty through environmental stewardship. As forest systems are rejuvenated, water purity improves, wildlife habitats are restored and agricultural production increases.
For each Gobe purchase you make, 5 trees are planted in collaboration with @edenprojects in Nepal, Haiti, Mozambique, Madagascar or Indonesia.
1,747,780 trees planted, and counting!
