From degraded land back to a growing forest 🌳 We’ve planted 20,000 trees here since 2017 with our partner Green Ethiopia – and just look at the difference over time! These trees are cooling the land, restoring water cycles and helping stop soil from washing away during heavy rains, reducing the risk of landslides. And this is just the beginning. Keep searching with Ecosia to help us restore more forests around the world 💚 #ethiopia #reforestation #ecosia
Somewhere, a forest is growing back because of you 💚 These are just a few of the places where we’re able to plant trees thanks to your Ecosia searches 🌳 We work with local communities and restoration partners to plant biodiverse, native trees where they’re needed most. Together, we’re restoring forest ecosystems and creating healthier landscapes for people and wildlife 🐒 Over 250 million trees planted so far. Get the Ecosia app and help us do more of this. #ecosia #reforestation
One is a palm oil monoculture. The other is a biodiverse native forest 🌳 In Sumatra and Borneo, in Indonesia, we’re working with FKL and the Gunung Lestari Foundation to restore native forests where palm oil once took over. By removing the oil palms and bringing back native species, we’re creating habitat for wildlife and restoring ecosystems that are about so much more than trees — they help protect against floods, reduce fire risk, support local livelihoods and keep the ecosystem healthy. And your searches help make this possible. Get the Ecosia app and help us do more of this 💚 #ecosia #monoculture #reforestation #sumatra #borneo
Ecosia is now a native browser option on Linux! 💻🌳 Linux has long been the go-to for people who care about open source, privacy and digital independence.

Trees are usually treated as property. A small town in Quebec has now recognised rights for them. Would you want your town to do this? 🌳 Correction: in our original post, we left out context about the Universal Declaration of Tree Rights and did not distinguish between the different legal frameworks. On 9 June 2026, Terrasse-Vaudreuil became the first municipality in the world to officially adopt the principles of the Universal Declaration of Tree Rights, authored and initiated by Ricardo Rey and stewarded by La Compagnie des Papillons Bleus. As a local application of those principles, the town recognised four rights for trees: life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration. The Declaration does not confer legal personhood or autonomous standing in court. It is different from Ecuador's constitutional Rights of Nature and from New Zealand's Te Urewera legal-entity model. We've updated the post to make these distinctions clear.
From 15,000 tree seedlings in 2019 to over 21,000 today. Israel Sebzsungu’s work in Nyamagabe District, Rwanda, shows what real growth really looks like 🌳 For 6 years, Israel has been growing saplings that eventually become Ecosia trees, partnering with us and One Acre Fund. But his impact goes beyond reforestation. Running this nursery provides him with reliable income to raise his 5 children and build long-term security for his family. When you use Ecosia, every search helps plant trees while creating lasting economic opportunity for people like Israel ✨ ecosia.org
What's fuelling Indonesia's wildfires? El Niño is making this year’s fires worse, but that’s not the whole story. Across Sumatra and Borneo, forests have been cleared and peatlands drained to make space for palm oil and pulp plantations. This has made these landscapes more vulnerable to fire. Real prevention means protecting and restoring natural ecosystems. We’ve also seen your questions, and wanted to reassure you: none of our partners in Indonesia are currently affected, but we’re keeping a close eye on the situation 💚 #indonesia #wildfires
Nepal has contributed very little to climate change, but it's being forced to live with its brutal consequences. Hundreds of people have died and hundreds more are still missing after this week's floods. Scientists believe they were triggered by a massive rock-and-ice avalanche, but the exact cause is still being investigated. What they do know is that climate change is making catastrophic collapses like this more likely. How much worse climate disasters continue to get is a political choice. High-emitting countries and fossil fuel companies have the greatest responsibility to cut emissions now. Our partners in Nepal are safe, and we're monitoring the situation. 📷: Niranjan Shrestha/AP, REUTERS/Stringer, Prabin Ranabhat/AFP, WIRED
