CAUSES WE SUPPORT
BIODIVERSITY & WILDLIFE
Biodiversity and wildlife causes are focused on protecting and restoring the variety of life on Earth. Initiatives include preserving habitats, protecting endangered species, and ensuring ecosystems remain healthy and balanced.
Biodiversity is essential as it supports ecosystem resilience, meaning diverse environments are better able to recover from disruptions like climate change and pollution. Wildlife preservation aids in maintaining these ecosystems.
MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
Marine ecosystem causes protect and restore ocean habitats, including coral reefs, coastal areas, and open waters. These initiatives work to safeguard marine biodiversity, protect endangered species, and combat threats like overfishing, pollution, and climate change.
Healthy marine ecosystems are crucial for regulating the Earth’s climate, supporting food supplies, and preserving marine life that contributes to the balance of global ecosystems.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Environmental education aims to empower people with knowledge and tools to make sustainable choices and protect the environment. These initiatives focus on raising awareness about critical issues like climate change, conservation, and biodiversity, helping communities understand their role in preserving natural resources.
By funding programs that teach sustainability and environmental stewardship, we can equip future generations to take action, make informed decisions, and foster a deeper connection with the planet.
CLIMATE ADAPTATION
Climate adaptation focuses on helping communities and ecosystems adjust to the impacts of climate change. These initiatives include developing sustainable infrastructures, protecting natural buffers like wetlands and forests, and supporting agriculture practices that withstand changing conditions.
Climate adaptation is essential for building resilience against extreme weather, rising sea levels, and shifting ecosystems.
One Tree Planted for Every Purchase
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we use Sprout, powered by TheGoodAPI, to plant a tree for every purchase you make. In collaboration with Eden Reforestation Projects, these trees—mainly mangroves—are planted in areas like Kenya, Madagascar, and Indonesia, helping to restore ecosystems and support local communities. Mangrove trees are crucial in combating climate change by absorbing carbon and protecting coastal regions from erosion. In the name of transparency, we offer tree tracking through Veritree, allowing you to follow the positive impact of each purchase.
