Welcome to Tree-Update 40! Here’s the truth: time is running out to stop further disasters caused by climate change.
But there is still a lot that we can do. We have about 27 rainy seasons left to change the tide and our partners, like @HommesetTerre, are proving that it can be done, even in one of the most desertified places in the world.
Tree Update 40 lets you in on why most tree-planting pledges never work and why you should pay attention to ‘Ecosia’s ABC of Tree Planting’.
Join us for all this and much, much more 🫰

And consider sharing the video with anyone that yu think could be interested ✨
I wonder why now I only achieve 2 trees for each 125 searches on my mobile phone??
When I started with Ecosia few years ago, the ratio was much better.
Inflation? 🤔
@@Dr.RiccoMastermind what do you mean?
@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 another erst German guys here ;) I mean I got much more Ecosia trees planten for my search activities than nowadays
You should pin this comment, otherwise most people won't see it :)
@@jessiada who do mean? 🤔
"Treeplanting is not just about trees" so true. Also, we should ask these corporations and billionaires who pledge to plant tress regularly to show us videos and pictures of those trees they allegedly planted. Often, this is just greenwashing and PR and noting else.
Thanks for the comment and for watching ✨ The main problem is that often tree pledges are not well thought through. Institutions and corporations might mean well, but there's SO much to think about to make sure the tree is in the right place and has long-term benefits.
@@EcosiaA philanthropist tax write off if what they do
@@toyotaprius79what do you mean?
@@imtheeastgermanguy5431
A lot of organizations and politicians use climate change as a grift.
You'll see see monocropped tree plantations and orchards called "reforestation," for one. Many are using the climate change panic to sell dubious expensive solutions while avoiding more obvious ones, like greener farming methods and pushing for more rail and trains instead of creating more impermeable roads and exploding evs that may or may not reduce carbon emissions.
@@imtheeastgermanguy5431philanthropy often comes with tax write-offs, I'm pretty sure they meant "is what they do" - implying that corpo-types couldn't care less about doing good in the world and are just looking to pay less taxes - there's strong tax incentives for philanthropy, if you game it right you end up walking away with more than you gave away in tax write-offs. It's how slimy folks like Elon manage to pay no taxes year after year.
I still can't believe that I recently planted my 600-th tree through ecosia. 30,000 searches in almost 7 years. I does make a difference. Glad to see that in practice in this video.
It really does 💕
Wow. Congrats, Super-user! :))
Wow, 7 years, guess I'm an internet addict than as I got that amount on a new phone I didn't synchronise with my other device's searches... To be fair, my job requires me to use the internet a lot.
This transparency is actually what we need, I'm very glad that Ecosia is making these videos.
Trees are not only wood, they are cooling, keep soil at place and store water.
Further provide food, and environment for animals and insects.
and absorb moist which is a key factor for equilibrium in an environment.
I always search with Ecosia. And updates like this, make me proud to do so 💚🌱🌿🌳🌴
If it weren't for organizations like this so many animals and communities would be struggling. I think the worst part is that others who pretend to care only do so when it's convent or profitable, and for that reason I think when climate change begins to make the world inhabitable for billionaires, then they'll scrape together some pocket change for something to be done...
Without Ecosia and other organizations, much more would be lost before this happens
There won't be billionaires in the future. Thankfully!
Yes, and plenty of people always go nuts with gratitude when a multi billionaire throws a few million into a charity, without realising just how much a few million represents to someone who has 40 billion or so. It's like me throwing 5p into a collection tin - so small a sum, another person wouldn't stoop to pick it up off the ground.
You people rock! Ecosia does it the right way. Money alone won't save the planet.
Kudos to your project! Your project has helped this community to thrive by planting more trees, fruits and vegetables. Keep it up and God bless.❤
thanks for updating us
please do all you can god bless you
Ecosia's commitment to transparency is truly an inspiration, keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for the update. Awesome Video and awesome project. ❤
Thank you for another excellent update.
Well, time to ramp up the tree-planting! Looking at the financial reports, you have over 15 million in your tree fund, but the amount of trees planted hasn't increased much. The tree counter, which was slowed down during the height of the pandemic to reflect slower tree planting as a result of lockdowns, still isn't back to pre-covid levels.
I hope you have something spectacular planned, because that money in the tree fund isn't very useful if it's not spent on trees!
The counter is something that allways bothers me, specially since its an average, not a real number
Hey there! Thanks for watching and the observations. You are totally right about the fund, we are looking into ramping up the tree-planting. Sometimes it all takes longer because weather patterns are changing and we'd rather plant trees smartly than in masses. But stay put for more on that in the future! Cheers and thanks again
@@joaquimbarbosa896 Interesting. Can you elaborate, what worries you about the counter?
@@Ecosia That during the pandemic the speed got reduced and never changed since
@@EcosiaPlanting in an intelligent, well-planned way is certainly best; and yes, the fast changing weather patterns are forcing some of us to re-think our methods.
Due to greatly increased incidence of storms, I've had to stop planting the types of tree I was, return to the hedge row I had initially planted, begin doubling its width and planting another separate hedgerow to run several feet apart but parallel to it.
To me, it seems that as soon as I get a system sorted out, so I need to make a change because the weather patterns changes, or a new pathogen starts killing the trees (I've had all the joy of seeing hundreds of young, frontier Ash die in a single year. Still have a few survivors - amazingly - but it meant a change of plan.
Now, I'm just planting trees on a very small patch of land, but my local problems scale up, and I've seen significant losses encountered in other nearby schemes (whether it be the completely unnatural sustained drought we had last Spring/Summer or new pests and diseases extending their range into the country).
You have to keep thinking of ways to keep ahead of the game and anticipate worse case scenarios. What if drought hits again? What if storms increase? Would time be better spent tapping into this spring and creating swales for a while longer?
Thing is, we domestic tree planters and guerrilla gardeners look to videos to see if we can use some of the techniques, or adapt techniques used. For example, I can't 'dig' a swale or dig these little arc structures for planting in (soil too thin and rocky), but I can 'build' such structures on top of what soil I have.
I began to suspect this might be a way to do things when I saw what effect one of my compost heaps at the top of my field had. On the uppermost side, it was all dried grass and weeds, on the lower side it was green, lush and the compost damp. I started to build these little horseshoe shapes when I saw a project in Nigeria with the same shapes I'd created. Theirs was an ancient technique brought back from the past, mine was a discovery through observation.
This is why I don't knock UA-cam like some people do. This platform offers a great chance of sharing important knowledge, and allows us to help each other get this job done. It's not a race, it mustn't be. As the saying goes - quality rather than quantity. Everything has to be done properly, modifying techniques to stay ahead of the dizzying amount of change we're witnessing now.
Ecosia is the BEST NGO I know. Keep up the amazing work!

Heck of a title for a video. We can all do something to help.
really brings it home doesn't it?
I'm proud to be an ecosia user and I know together we can reach our goals!
Continue searching, continue planting! We can stop climate change together if we continue searching! GO TEAM!
My eco-anxiety is in full force.
Reading buddhism and taoism helped me. Even if we all die, if we think on the timescale of the earth, ten million years from now every trace of us will be gone life will flourish on this planet again. But until we are gone, lets plant trees!
Sorry to read this 💔 😭 Hopefully, seeing the whole video helps? In case it doesn't, here's another video we once made about how to deal with climate anxiety. Sharing it in case it helps: ua-cam.com/video/QCmkiA0CHuA/v-deo.html
the best way to assuage anxiety is with action. it's meant to get you moving and doing things. maybe you could join a tree-planting event?
Stop eating animals then. There's SO much 1 individual can do. We're in this together.
Please bring back the Tree Counter! 😢
Yay another update! Thank you
Very nice on the planting depression. Looks like they follow the contours very well. This will provide the extra support through more rainwater captured to the trees' planting area. It's a relief to see.
One caveat: I have found that in the temperate desert where I live the plants often refuse to grow beyond the edge of the dug out area. So if they expand the width of these planting depressions, it will likely help the trees grow larger.
I have seen in other areas where you have planted a variety of trees and I applaud your foresight. Hard to tell in rhe example at the end if it is a polyculture of trees or a monoculture. (Do realize there are other plants for support).
I think the more important point is how trees *build soil,* supply support for other plants, provide food/feed and useful materials, flood control, shade, beauty, etc.
the problem is also that they cut trees to cook so would be great to build biogas in these villages so that they can cook with biogas produced for example from they droppings.
Solar und wind energy would be better to use but I guess that is a long way
could use all 3@@imtheeastgermanguy5431
Hi from Kenya, there are direct solar boilers and ovens to use off grid, but they are not convenient to use, so adoption is low.
Cows and goats are often culturally important, so biogas goes well with that.
Current costs to build a single family biogas unit for 1-2 cows which covers the cooking of 3-5 adults is US$800-900. I don't know how much it would be for a community one, or how the gas would be safely transported to individual homes. (In some areas of Pakistan they use large bag balloons, but filled from a pressurised tank).
It's difficult to raise US$800 for a single family, but possible and schemes that can sell carbon credits to offset the cost are looking most likely to succeed.
@@russellpengilley5924 I don't know where I can trading with co2 certificates. I would like to invest this money back in villages. Buying more land in order to practice "fmnr" and "holistic planned grazing Management". With luck i/we can get more co2 from this and the stone is rolling 🌍🛠️🍚🍖🍌😎
Also they can plant bamboo to get firewood. Bamboo grows rapidly

Thank you allllll Ecosiaaa team ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Thanks to you
Ich kann und will nicht abstreiten das es mir ein gutes Gefühl gibt, wenn ich Ecosia nutze und dann dieses Video sehe, mit dem Wissen das auch dank meinen Suchanfragen das ermöglicht wird. Muss ich mich dafür schämen das ich nun ein gutes Gefühl habe weil ich etwas für die Umwelt mache? Nein ich glaube nicht. Ich kann das gute Gefühl auch einfach genießen. Danke Ecosia und danke liebe Bewohner der Länder die dabei mitmachen 💚
Das ist richtig so
@@Ecosia Ja nur leider wird es einem irgendwie immer negativ ausgelegt wenn man etwas gutes für die Umwelt tut. Als ob es ein Verbrechen ist 🙄 Und dann fühlt man sich auch noch gut dabei. Wir werden ständig als Gutmenschen beleidigt nur weil andere es (noch) nicht schaffen oder es "uncool" finden. Könntet ihr mal dazu ein Video machen?
Regreening the Desert is always a very interesting project. .
Companies like this give me hope for the future.
Thank you for all you are doing!
I still don't get why so manny people don't use ecosia
@@Ecosia Already done 😊
Thanks for doing this great job helping our planet
People rather be lazy and complain then help, even if it's the bare minimum.
@@BalboaBaggins yes could be true
The thing I like the most on Ecosia, is that we invest in the livelihood of those communities.
I support native planting of plants, shrubs, and groundcovers to reclaim lands that are deforested, lands that seem to be heading towards desertification, overgrazing leaving land compacted or fallow. This is a smart thing to do, and it reaps great benefits. But 40 years of climate change hyperbole with near zero predictions coming true, is tiring. Keep doing the good work of reclaiming these lands.
Really cool video!
Gratitude!!
(when every living cell holds an ocean within water wants to flow slow )
For this to actually work, building water resiliency should be the first step in planting trees. This can be done using permaculture principles to restore the landscape.
Love your attention to detail and that you are avoiding the plantation/monocrop model.
Ecosiaaa I #love you 💚💚💚
I love trees for their beauty. Sometimes I forget about their purpose. It is video like this that pump their usefulness into my head. You are doing excellent work.🌲🌳🌴
FMNR!!! Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration. Those shrubby bits around you at 2:25 are probably offshoots of a trunk with fully established root system - as per Tony Rinaudo, trim off till initially only 5 stems, trim leaves off bottom half of stems, and within a few years they will have become trees, with pruning every 3 to 6 months, and the trimmings can be used for fodder, mulch, firewood (the 5 stems can be reduced each year when a reasonable size for firewood).
Ate that up, y’all on top!! 🔥🔥🙏🙏💪💪👆👆👆🆙🆙🆙🆒🆒🆒🌳🌳🌳🌳
The analogy is really bad. Climate change is happening, the more we emmit until we reach net 0 the worse it is. It totally is NOT a countdown, specially since what matters the most is not when we reach net 0 but how much we emmit up to that point. Besides that, great video! Proud ecosia user
Thanks, Joaquim. Interesting comment, thanks for the feedback, I see what you mean! Cheers
You aren't wrong, but it's still a good way to build hope, and motivate people to take actions
@@zombi3lif3In one way, in other, no. Like, it also means that, as long as you reach net 0 by 2050, you can do whatever you want. Wich doesn't motivate at all
@@joaquimbarbosa896 You can't put the burden of getting to net zero on the viewers of this video. Most of the emmitions are systemic and defended by lobbygroups of the corporations profiting on keeping emmitions cheap.
Viewers of this video will be close to powerless individuals, which only can solve the issue by educate themself, organizing, support projects like Ecosia and vote for politicians that want to make systemic changes. They need hope and to believe it is still time to make a difference
@@zombi3lif3 I put that burden on everyone and every entity and institutional body. However, what I said has nothing to do with that, this video doesn't have to carry any burden. But to make misleading (at best) comparations is harmfull, simple as that. The only burden this video has is the burden with informing correctly
Bless you all.
Parabéns aos ressuscitadores de terras no mundo inteiro.
Desertos revelam relaxo, ganância, desamor, abandono, pobreza.

Well done ecosia
How did you travel to Senegal? Why not have locals reporting from there
Hey Emile, thanks for watching! Great minds think alike ;) Have you heard of our 'Ecosia Presents' project? We're training people in different regions to do just what you said. Here's Odeke from Uganda: ua-cam.com/video/2P-whKjrWEk/v-deo.html

I bought .27 acres of land and I am planting hundred of trees and other vegetation on it turning it into a forest. I know it's a small effort but I'm trying to learn to build forests small to buy more land and teach others to do it. I grow the bulk of the trees from d.
Amazing 🥰
Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Florida is a high risk state for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from Florida hurricanes were filling the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year.
What?
I love Ecosia and I love your message of taking care of our planet but I would love for you to improve the browser to make it look more aesthetic and easier to use everything else is very good❤❤❤❤❤

Hi perfect best for our earth 👍👍👍
Do you not dig rain catchments in the soil for every new planted tree?
Hi there! Do you mean in this project or generally? Cheers
Check around the 8min mark
Oh I see. Well, the half-moons act themselves as catchments, that's the whole point. Let me know if I answered your question!@@christianvanderstap6257

Quand les gens sauront que c'est l'arbre qui fait la pluie et pas l'inverse il sera peut être trop tard, restons tout de même positif. Et merci Ecosia
Excellent initiative, appreciate your work! But it still breaks my heart that you haven't started in Pakistan.😔 We had a devastating flood in 2022, so please start planting trees in Pakistan. One of the projects is "Recharge Pakistan" by WWF
Awesome work, keep it up. I think it would be cool to see a partnership or video about FMNR & Tony Rinaudo
ecosia est vraiment super, c'est l'une des seules organisation que je connais qui inclu l'arbre dans les communautés, dans la production agricole, pour l'eau et les sols, et non pas juste en greenwashing via la monoculture
This is good to hear. 🙌Thanks God for it. ✝️🛐 Thank you for all of your hard work.
At 1:45 the spokesperson throws their credit card away to prove a point.
Would've been so funny if they were in the background in the next shot searching for it on the ground. I thought they were for a second.
Oh also well done for you wrt trees and sustained longevity!
do you guys also plant wild flowers?
A few years ago we had until 2025 :/
maybe the estimates was wrong.. to be honest i've never heard of 2025 limit. But let's do nothing, we have time until the last year comes for the humankind.

god bless ecosia!
I did 411 searches or 8 trees and I'm waiting for 300 million trees total for ecosia.
I watched eating our way to extinction and I'm vegan now.
yasss so great to hear 💪🏼
You can plant a zillion trees, none of it is gonna matter if we don't drastically reduce our meat production.
31 trees financed with Ecosia on my laptop from work last year, plus an unknown number on my own PC.
i have planted 20 trees .
For the algorithm ☀️
Tree planting is great but the people must change. I watched your video and saw all those goats. There is an old saying; "Where goats go, deserts will follow". Teach the people to herd another less destructive animal.
🌳
The most important part of the process lies getting to the bottom
it's a shame that the personal desk at ecosia has disappeared
Water and fertile soil are necessary to plant trees sustainably.
4:49 What is the app called? I heard appful app? That’s not it though. Would love to use in our tree planting project.

Mon prénom signifie la forêt. Depuis ma naissance, je me bats pour elle, pour ses habitants, pour son développement. Bien sûr, je soutiens des actions comme celles d'Ecosia, mais aussi d'autres comme Agir pour l'Environnement ou encore Pollinis. Car développer les arbres, c'est aussi commencer par regarder ce qui se passe autour de chez soi. Et militer contre les arrachages intempestifs dans les zones rurales, arrêter de prendre les bois comme déchetteries, laisser tomber papiers et mégots sur les chemins... Dans son jardin, aussi : arrêter de tondre pour avoir un gazon anglais, de planter des espèces exotiques quand le biotope ne s'y prête pas, de mettre des engrais, pesticides et fongicides pour avoir des fruits les plus brillants du coin, d'installer des clôtures si hermétiques que les animaux n'ont plus de libre circulation.... Même sur un balcon, dans une jardinière, on peut planter des arbustes et quand ils prennent trop de place, les replanter ailleurs ! Chacun peut le faire déjà à sa mesure. Ecosia ne fait pas en remplacement, Ecosia complète....
Merci de partager ces réflexions
Shouldn't you plant different grasses with an aray of roots to help opening up the soil and retain the water? Watch Peter Andrew's and Carles Massy's restoration of land in Australia. Animal feed can be grown with hydroponic technology.🎉
Why is it that I can no longer look and see how many trees my searches have planted? They made a chance today and the tree icon no longer shows that.
Hey there and thanks for your question! We're currently testing a different search experience for users - one that focuses on community impact. That's why we're working on new ways of sharing your impact with you. But please don’t worry - your searches are still being counted and contributing to trees being planted 🌳
What are your thoughts on stratospheric aerosol injection and stratospheric dehydration?

warum blendet man nicht zusätzlich eine Spenden Konto Nr ein bei Ecosia? An Weihnachten denke auch an Waldprojekte...
Hallo und danke für deine Frage! :) Weil Ecosia ein Unternehmen und keine gemeinnützige Nonprofit-Organisation ist, können wir rechtlich keine Spenden annehmen. Wer uns über die Nutzung der Suchmaschine hinaus unterstützen möchte, kann aber zum Beispiel Bäume über unseren Tree Store verschenken! plant.ecosia.org/ Liebe Grüße 🌳
How did you get to this amount of time? What factors did you consider for that conclusion?
If we take 2050 as a rough guideline, the fact that, as Mélissa says in the video, there's usually 1 rainy season to take advantage from, plus/minus a few that will essentially get lost due to changing patterns - that's how we calculated it. It's a rough count, of course.
Why is the after picture from October 2022? Was this filmed back then?
Hey Michael! Yes it was. We didn't have an image as clear of this year through satellites because they were all covered by clouds. And when we went in October, we only managed to get an "after" of one of the sites, but our partners had never done a "before" picture of that one. So, instead, we're showing you another site of theirs where they did have a matching before/after. Hope this helps! Cheers and thanks for watching so carefully!
