Corporate Partnerships Manager

We believe in the power of nature and in cooling down the planet together by regreening degraded land and bringing back vegetation. Our mission is to inspire millions to take action to regreen degraded landscapes in Africa.

To give nature a push, we empower and connect a movement of millions. So far, we’ve restored 525,000 hectares, brought back over 32 million trees, and built a grassroots movement that’s growing every day. We believe now is the time to speed up and scale up! No more talking. No more waiting. Dig in & cool down the planet with us
