I just got word of the amazing work 8 Billion Trees is doing both in Australia to help with the current fires as well as around the world. Sometimes things can feel pretty hopeless but seeing the work 8 Billion Trees is doing gives me hope.
Planting trees and saving animals in remote areas is more difficult than it seems. Many of the organizations will focus more on things like paying people to stand on corners to ask for petition signatures or plant a few trees at a local park.
8 Billion Trees is different though. They are going deep into the Amazon to plant trees where they can do the most good. 8 Billion Trees are not afraid to do the tough work.
Let me tell you the story about Molly the sloth and how she inspired the start of 8 Billion Trees.
Molly lived in the Amazon forest until just recently when the area of the forest she lived in was burned down by Palm Oil farmers illegally. Molly was found just outside the burned area badly hurt.
Seeing what happened to Molly and was happening to thousands of other animals daily inspired Michael & Jon to start 8 Billion Trees. They wanted to start an organization that would be able to help these animals and replant the trees they needed to live in.
Turns out planting trees can do some pretty amazing things.
If you want to help animals like Molly & plant trees I’d suggest you check out the 8 Billion Trees membership plan.
