How we plant

Together with Eden Reforestation Projects, we’re planting mangrove trees across restoration projects in Marotia, Madagascar and Kwasasi & Magumba, Kenya. The projects create jobs with fair wages for locals, and contribute to regreening areas that had previously been deforested.

Where we’re planting trees

Kenya

Only 10% of Kenya’s forests remain after years of logging and charcoal production. In our fight against climate change, we’re planting as many trees as possible while offering employment to Kenyans living in poverty.

Madagascar

Deforestation is having a massive impact not only on the environment, but also on the lives of those living in poverty. Together with our partner Eden Reforestation Projects, we decided to do something about it.

New

The Netherlands

We are planting a total of 1,250 trees and shrubs in Leersum. The goal of the project is to improve the quality of existing forests and further expand them in the Netherlands.

Coming soon

Indonesia

On the peatland destroyed by forest fires in Borneo, bunq users will plant a mixture of native tree species that occur naturally to help reforest the area.
