About
Trillion Trees is an open record of the people, organisations and places growing and protecting the world’s trees. Every fact shows where it came from.
It is not a pledge registry, a carbon marketplace, a donation platform or a directory listing service. Nothing here is for sale and no one pays to be included.
Why it exists
Records of tree and restoration work already exist. What they mostly lack is provenance — a reader cannot tell where a number came from, or whether anyone checked it. Two comparable platforms were found to be misreporting by journalists rather than by their own systems.
So the one thing this record does differently is show its sources, on the page, as readable text. If that ever stops being true, the rest of it is not worth having. How we decide what goes in is set out in the methodology.
The profile is a gift
We write about people’s work and then invite them to correct it. Corrections are welcome, not a complaint process, and a request to be removed is honoured the same day without questions.

How we know what we publish
Every fact carries a source, and anyone can check it. The methodology sets out where records come from, what we refuse to record, and how a subject corrects or removes their own.
