Why Did We Choose To Plant Trees?
Reddo Terra’s natural cosmetics are made of raw materials which are mostly derived from plant material. Therefore, we have decided the least we can do to thank nature for providing us with those lovely raw materials is give back to earth. We also know that even though we do our best to make our products, production, and shipping process sustainable there is still an impact on the environment. That’s why we have committed to have Net-Zero-Products and a Net-Zero-Website by planting a tree for every product you buy from us.
Why is Planting Trees so Important?
Planting trees during this climate crisis is important because:
Trees produce oxygen.
Trees protect the soil against erosion.
Trees provide homes to fauna and planting trees prevents animal extinction.
Trees provide shade and help cool down their surroundings
Trees absorb CO2 emisions which helps combat global warming.

The program
operates by working collaboratively with many different communities with full
support from national, local and tribal governments to reforest large areas of
mangroves and dry deciduous forest along the coast and inland areas. Eden’s
local staff provides training and financial support to the local community to collect
mangrove propagules, develop nurseries, and strategically plant millions of
mangrove trees in coastal marsh systems and upland dry deciduous forests that
have been heavily degraded or deforested. reforestation project in Madagascar.
Benefits of the project
Through this planting effort, Eden’s work has transformed how local people relate to their forests, now looking to protection and stewardship where they once sought only wood for cooking and construction materials. The restored mangrove systems stabilize the coastline with their dense areal roots protecting it from tropical storms, act as refuges for shellfish and juvenile fish supporting marine health/diversity, improving food security, and helping sequester carbon and mitigate climate change. The restoration of dry deciduous forest provides habitat to many endemic and endangered species such as the Coquerel’s sifaka lemurs (Propithecus coquereli), golden-crowned sifaka (Propithecus tattersalli) and Perrier’s sifaka (Propithecus diadema perrieri) as well as the island’s largest predator, the fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox).
