July 2020 GlobalGiving Climate Action Now Report

By Liza Toth | Project Founder and Leader

Planting Continues - SAFELY!

Dear Supporters,

Thanks to your kind and generous donations, Climate Action Now* has now funded another 30,536 trees providing 305 days of paid work to villagers who were previously in extreme poverty. We have now funded a total of over 294,189 trees for planting by Eden Reforestation Projects. Accordingly, we are at 98% of our 300,000 tree-planting goal.

The economic uncertainty brought about by coronavirus-19 has reduced revenues from fundraising and taken focus away from climate change and the environment. Now more than ever, we need your support. If you are wondering about the most effective time to donate, think about 15^th July 2020. GlobalGiving is hosting its July Bonus day on July 15, from 9am and ending at midnight Eastern (US) Time, to encourage higher-level donations. There will be some level of matching for donations of $100 USD or more.

Coronavirus has reduced pollution levels and given us time to reflect. Along with this report, I am including a video from the WEF, on the importance of restoring our relationship with nature to reduce the risks of further pandemics, and a New Scientist link on the effects of meat and dairy production on the planet.

We hope to pilot the Let’s Save Our Planet graphic book in at least one school in the upcoming academic year. We have updated the English and French versions, now available on Amazon, and the update to the Italian language version is in progress. In addition, we have a German translation which will be published in due course.

Thank you again for all your support.

Eden Reforestation Tree Planting Team

Dear Supporters,

Pictured in the photo is our partner Eden Reforestation’s CEO, Steve Fitch -- in the blue cap and sunglasses -- along with its International Operations Director, Sehr Ali (front left), and its National Director for Indonesia, Jesse Willem (front right). They are with people from the village and planting team on Biak which is in Papua, part of the Schouten Islands, northwest of New Guinea. In Indonesia, the focus is on mangrove planting. This report includes a link to a vlog about Eden’s engagement with and tree-planting in this region. Climate Action Now is supporting all six of Eden’s current project nations: Madagascar, Mozambique, Indonesia, Nepal, Haiti, and Kenya.

Thanks to your kind and generous donations, last month Climate Action Now* funded another 38,902 trees providing 389 days of paid work to villagers who were previously in extreme poverty. We have now funded about 240,000 trees for planting by Eden Reforestation Projects, providing about 2,400 days of paid work as well. Accordingly, we are about 80% to our 300,000-tree-planting goal.

We are not alone in tree planting efforts across the globe. By helping to meet this goal we are also contributing to the call from the World Economic Forum 2020 to plant 1 trillion trees. A link to this initiative is included with this report.

We have an upcoming opportunity to receive some partial matching of funds in the GlobalGiving Little by Little campaign from March 23 - March 28, 2020. If you were wondering when a particularly good time would be to contribute, it is within this time frame! We have included a link with the terms and conditions of the campaign matching.

As previously noted, in due course and as and when promising opportunities arise, we will address the education and teacher training aspects of our plan. We are updating our climate graphic textbook and considering different avenues for its adoption in schools and/or for Fridays For Future climate strikers.

Thank you again for all your support.
