Planting trees through peer-to-peer recognition
At Mekanys Global, we use Evergreen, a peer-to-peer recognition app that partners with Eden Reforestation Projects to plant trees for the planet. Eden is a non-profit organization, that has a holistic approach to reforestation and ecological restoration.
Eden Reforestation Projects
Eden Projects works with committed villages and national leaders to restore forests through the planting of native tree species. They hire and train locals to plant the trees, providing job opportunities and benefiting the community. This approach ensures a high seedling survival rate of over 80%, and the villages’ special interest in the forests’ survival leads to their protection and maintenance.
Villages manage nurseries and planting sites
Eden Projects starts by hiring people in the local villages to plant trees. This gives them a consistent income so they can provide for their families. As the reforestation effort goes on, healthy forests begin to emerge, and the harmful effects of deforestation begin to disappear.
Incredible results
Eden has planted more than 900 million trees around the world since they started, while also working with local communities to restore forests on a massive scale. Through their efforts, they not only create jobs and protect ecosystems but also help mitigate climate change.
Worldwide reforestation
Together with Eden, every month, trees are planted in local communities across eight countries, producing and protecting tens of millions of trees. The efforts also contribute to the long-term restoration of the local environment and economy. Choose a country to learn more.
Stories from the community
Through peer-to-peer recognition Mekanys Global has provided 39 workdays for the workers and communities under the Eden Projects. Read stories about how employees’ lives have been transformed through reforestation.
Taking part in the United Nations Sustainable Goals for 2030
By using Evergreen and planting trees through Eden Projects, Mekanys Global participates in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
GOAL 1
No poverty
No poverty. More than 700m people live in extreme poverty. We help to employ people to plant trees.
GOAL 8
Economic growth
Promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all.
GOAL 13
Climate action
Global emissions of carbon dioxide CO2 have increased by almost 50% since 1990. We need reforestation on a massive scale.
GOAL 15
Life on land
Plant a tree and help protect the environment. Forests are home to more than 80% of all terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects.
