Mangroves protect millions of people. We’ve done it in Southeast Asia and now in Panama.
Trees for Life is an initiative of Worldview International Foundation, bringing 46+ years of global community development experience since 1979 to restore mangroves across 26 countries and plant more than 100 million trees. Now that expertise is coming to the Americas, and your donation helps make it possible.
Built on Reforestation
46+ years of global community development, restoring mangroves across 26 countries. 100M trees planted • 50M tons CO₂ sequestered.
Guided by Global Leadership
Led by Dr. Arne Fjørtoft, one of the world’s foremost mangrove reforestation experts.
Built for Long-Term Impact
Reforestation in Panama is launching under a Government MOU for large-scale coastal planting.
Building Partnerships That Restore Nature
Trees for Life contributes to multiple Sustainable Development Goals, with particular alignment to Goal 17 — Partnerships for the Goals.
The collaborative approach behind Trees for Life reflects the principles of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
This collaborative approach closely reflects the spirit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 17 — Partnerships for the Goals — which recognizes that lasting solutions to global challenges are built through cooperation, shared knowledge and collective action.
Every mangrove restored through Trees for Life represents more than a tree planted. It represents a partnership built on trust, knowledge and a shared commitment to restoring our planet for future generations.
Small actions can create global environmental ripple effects
Trees for Life is built on a simple idea: one act of support can fund learning, one decision can influence leadership, and one restoration effort can ripple outward across ecosystems and communities.
Learn & Understand
Support begins by helping more people understand how climate systems, mangroves, and restoration are connected.
Influence & Amplify
Knowledge influences leaders, institutions, and communities — creating wider environmental awareness.
Restore & Regenerate
Donor support helps fund restoration initiatives that create long-term ecological and social value.
