Compassion Tree Project

The Compassion Tree Project (CTP) took root in 2019 and is looking forward to expanding its efforts toward re-greening the world. Its goal is to plant 7.7 billion trees around the world by having CTPs on every faith/interfaith/spiritual campus, on every school and university campus, in cities and communities world-wide—even in one’s own backyard. The CTP is not only about planting trees but working toward protecting already existing forests, especially old-growth forests, as well as initiating native landscapes, including pollinators. The CTP encourages people to come together and work toward engaging in compassion for people and the planet by protecting forests, restoring biodiversity, and engaging women and youth in the process of planting native plants and trees. Doing so will improve air and soil quality, living conditions, provide nutrition and medicines, help to stabilize the water cycles, provide income opportunities, and a sense of purpose for the people.
