20 Trees Planted in the Amazon Rainforest | Spark A Little Sunshine X OneTreePlanted

Spark A Little Sunshine has teamed up with OneTreePlanted to encourage the collective healing of our world and our environment. Every time you checkout with Spark A Little Sunshine, you have the opportunity to help us plant more trees. 

The tree project that we chose to assist with this month is the Amazon Rainforest. Together, we can support reforestation. We were able to plant 20 trees in the Amazon Rainforest.

For 20 trees planted, the estimated reduction of CO2 emmission calculated by our partner is roughly 36.66 lbs. As a new start up launched on 10/10/23 publicly, we are proud to say collectively, we have planted 20 trees in our first month and already are contributing to a healthier, more sustainable environment for our world.

Overview:

Now more than ever, it's essential to reforest the Amazon River Basin, home to almost 30% of plant & animal species on Earth with 1.9 billion acres of rainforest and over 1,100 tributaries. With the world's largest rainforest ecosystem, the Amazon Rainforest spans 9 countries and is home to iconic species like the Jaguar, Macaw, Amazon River Dolphin, Black Spider Monkey, and Poison Dart Frog. By holding an estimated 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, its forests play a critical role in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, due to logging, unsustainable agriculture, and forest fires, it's also a high risk zone for deforestation and degradation.

Impact:

This tree planting project will help protect the Amazon's biodiverse primary forests and restore degraded land. Our partners will work with local farmers to establish sustainable agroforestry using shade-grown cocoa, native tree species, and productive timber species. They will also provide training and technical assistance for participants in the sustainable agroforestry model.
