Donations for Climate Protection in the "Forest Bet 2025"

The goal of the environmental campaign is to finance specific reforestation measures in Ethiopia through donations and to raise awareness of the importance of healthy forests. Supporters can participate until July 17.

"Forest Bet" for 50,000 Square Meters of Forest Launched

According to the organization, with just 20 euros, the planting of 200 square meters of forest is possible. In total, the campaign aims to reforest 50,000 square meters – corresponding to a donation goal of 5,000 euros. Progress can be tracked in real-time at www.waldwette.at. Accompanying the donation campaign, three "Around the Vegetables" gift boxes from Sonnentor will be raffled among all supporters.

The "Forest Bet" is supported for the eighth time by Cooltours Reise GmbH from Graz. The company is once again doubling the forest area financed by donations this year. "Forests are habitats and essential ecosystems. Their protection concerns us all," says Managing Director Heinrich Hochegger.

Reforestation Against Climate Crisis

Only about 15 percent of Ethiopia's area is forested – in Austria, it is almost 50 percent. Deforestation leads to erosion, loss of livelihoods, and increased weather extremes in rural areas. Reforestation is therefore considered a key measure against poverty, hunger, and environmental destruction.

For over 40 years, Menschen für Menschen has been working with the local population on sustainable projects. In the area of reforestation, 756 tree nurseries have been established, more than 300 million tree seedlings have been planted, and over 15,900 hectares have been reforested.
