Tropical forests are the “lungs of the earth,” helping to mitigate climate change and ensuring the well being and livelihoods of women, families and communities around the world. At Avon, we are committed to supporting global reforestation. Avon’s Healthy Forests, Beautiful World global fundraising program has donated more than $7.5 million for global reforestation since 2010. 100% of the donation will fund reforestation projects managed by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in two of the world’s most critically endangered ecosystems.
Avon funding supports TNC and its partners in their goal to plant one billion trees by 2025 and has enabled the planting and protection of more than 4.5 million trees in Brazil. Since 2011, Avon has supported WWF’s New Trees program, a reforestation program focused on community-based planting, monitoring and maintenance of more than 148,000 tree seedlings in the degraded forests across the Indonesian islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and Lombok. These Indonesian forests also provide habitat for orangutans and elephants and are estimated to absorb more than 6,000 tons of CO2 over the next 10 years.
