Our Mission

At Save the Trees, we believe that lasting change begins with awareness and collective action. Our mission is to protect forests, restore green spaces, and promote sustainable living, one community at a time.

Through educational content, hands-on activities, and youth-driven campaigns, we empower individuals to take meaningful steps toward a greener, healthier planet. Whether you're a student, a teacher, a volunteer, or a nature lover, your voice and action can help grow the movement.

Together, let’s turn concern into change.

Our Vision

We envision a world where individuals feel deeply connected to nature, where every person understands the value of trees and takes conscious steps to protect them. Through our initiative, we aim to inspire collective responsibility and empower communities, especially the youth, to become stewards of our forests.

Our mission goes beyond just planting trees. It’s about nurturing a culture of respect for the environment, restoring degraded landscapes, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring a healthier planet for future generations. Every voice matters. Every action counts. Together, we can grow a greener future, one tree at a time.

Join us in protecting forests for future generations.

The Impact of Human Choices on Nature

Every decision we make, whether in cities, villages, or forests, leaves a mark on the planet. Watch how mindful actions restore life, and careless ones cause harm.

When Forests Burn, We All Lose

This video captures the aftermath of a massive forest fire, a disaster made worse by relentless deforestation. Across the world, forests are being cleared at alarming rates, often by powerful industries chasing short-term profit. With fewer trees to hold moisture and resist heat, wildfires spread faster, burn hotter, and leave behind lifeless land. What you see here is not just a natural calamity. It's the cost of allowing corporations to treat forests as disposable. When the trees disappear, so does our chance at a livable future.

The Future We’re Working Toward

This video offers a glimpse into what we hope all forests can look like, vibrant, protected, and teeming with life. Lush canopies, rich soil, and clean air aren't luxuries, they’re the result of conscious choices. Through tree plantations, forest protection programs, youth-driven campaigns, and community education, we aim to bring such green landscapes back where they've vanished. This is the change we are working toward: a future where nature is respected, restored, and allowed to thrive.

Deforestation: The Silent Emergency

This video shows the rapid erasure of a once-thriving forest, cleared for commercial development and resource extraction. Bulldozers move faster than birds can flee. Centuries-old trees fall in minutes. What remains is a barren stretch of land, stripped of life, shade, and soil. Behind these scenes are industries driven by unchecked greed, turning irreplaceable ecosystems into profit margins. Deforestation isn't just about trees, it's about losing entire networks of life that protect our climate, our water, and our future.

What We're Up Against

Globally, humans cut down around 15 billion trees every year, which averages to about 42 million trees per day or 1.7 million trees per hour.
Based on those figures, for every tree planted (about 5 billion annually), we’re cutting down roughly three times as many. Even as reforestation efforts grow, deforestation still outpaces them by a wide margin.

Researchers estimate the world has around 3 trillion trees remaining.
Humans have already wiped out nearly 46% of trees over the last 12,000 years.
Trees are essential for climate regulation, biodiversity, clean air, and healthy soil.
We’re felling trees by the hour while only planting a third of that number.
Losing them at this rate has serious, long-term global consequences.
