{"slug":"eden-people-planet","name":"Eden: People+Planet","tagline":"Community-based landscape restoration and reforestation across Africa, Asia and Latin America","description":"Eden: People+Planet (formerly Eden Reforestation Projects) began in 2005 near Hawassa, Ethiopia, and employs local community members to plant and protect mangrove and dry-deciduous forests. It reports working in Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Nepal, Honduras and the Philippines. In June 2024 the organization renamed itself and shifted from large-scale tree-planting counts toward carbon-eligible, landscape-scale restoration financed by blended philanthropic and carbon-market funding; in November 2024 it ended its partnership with its implementing partner in Madagascar. Its 2022-2023 report cites over 1 billion trees planted by end of 2022, while its current About page cites over 500 million.","website_url":"https://www.eden-plus.org","logo_url":null,"founded_year":2005,"org_type":"nonprofit","scope":"global","headquarters":{"city":"Glendora","region":"California","country":"US","lat":34.1361,"lng":-117.8653},"volunteer_url":null,"donation_url":"https://eden-plus.org/donate/monthly/","events_url":null,"featured":false,"trees_on_record":1000000000,"primary_activity":"reforestation","activities":[{"slug":"reforestation","name":"Reforestation","primary":true},{"slug":"mangrove-restoration","name":"Mangrove restoration","primary":false},{"slug":"nursery-seedling-production","name":"Nurseries & seedlings","primary":false},{"slug":"carbon-offset-planting","name":"Carbon offset planting","primary":false}],"updated_at":"2026-11-07T21:30:23.685Z","url":"https://treerm.org/org/eden-people-planet","markdown_url":"https://treerm.org/org/eden-people-planet.md","api_url":"https://treerm.org/api/v1/organizations/eden-people-planet","data_note":"Eden's 2022-2023 annual report says it had planted over 1 billion trees by the end of 2022.
