Eden Reforestation Projects
Tool Information
Eden Reforestation Projects restores forests while reducing poverty by employing locals to plant native trees. Operating in Madagascar, Haiti, and Nepal, they enhance biodiversity and sequester carbon. Their “Employ to Plant” model provides fair wages, empowering communities. Since 2005, Eden has planted over 900 million trees, improving soil health and protecting watersheds. They ensure long-term success through community involvement and monitoring, offering donors detailed impact updates.
In 2024 and 2025, the brand underwent a complete metamorphosis to become Eden: People+Planet. This new identity reflects a strategic shift toward landscape-scale restoration, focusing on the inseparable link between healthy ecosystems and thriving human communities.
What has changed in 2026?
- The “40-Year Commitment”: Moving beyond short-term planting goals, Eden now enters into 40-year agreements with local stakeholders to ensure that restored forests are protected, managed, and legally secured for decades.
- Carbon-Eligible Landscapes: The focus has narrowed to high-integrity, carbon-eligible projects. By combining philanthropic support with blended finance and carbon market mechanisms, Eden creates self-sustaining financial models for conservation.
- Holistic Biodiversity Monitoring: Using the latest Nature-Tech (like drone mapping and eDNA), Eden now tracks entire ecosystem recoveries—including soil health, water tables, and wildlife return—rather than just tree counts.
- Community-Led Governance: The “People” in the new name signifies a move toward deeper community ownership. Local villages are no longer just employees; they are the long-term guardians and primary beneficiaries of the restored land.
By rebranding as Eden: People+Planet, the organization has cemented its position as a “Gold Standard” leader in the nature-based solutions sector, providing the transparency and data-driven results that 2026 corporate ESG standards demand.
