1,000,000 TREES CAMPAIGN
Conserve Natural Forests (CNF) needs your help to meet our goal of planting 1,000,000 native trees in the tropical mountain forests of northern Thailand. Please help us reduce your carbon footprint and restore a beautiful ecosystem!
WHO WE ARE
We work with local communities to exchange knowledge and raise awareness about environmental conservation. Last year, with a little help from our friends, we planted over 190,000 native trees throughout the Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai provinces. This would not have been possible without the invaluable support of local communities, including neighbors, the military, university students, primary schoolchildren, and the local government, who help us to restore their land.

enough to diminish hope and discourage change. What can be done against such overwhelming odds?
WHAT CAN WE DO?
FORESTS ARE NOT ONLY CARBON SINKS
While trees are currently the best technology we have for capturing CO2 emissions, sequestration is not their only (or even their most important) function. Most ecologists agree that prioritizing biodiversity always includes carbon benefits, but with the reverse – focusing too much on carbon storage – we can lose sight of what trees do best. With enough trees we have a forest, and forests supply a wealth of essential services that we depend upon, including cleaner air, purified water, and healthier soil. Forests prevent erosion, protect our communities from landslides, flooding, avalanches, and other natural hazards. They beautify and enrich the landscapes that we hold sacred. They provide us with medicines and food and shelter, they keep us warm and fashion our tools and build the bedframe and our favorite chair, the roof and the walls and the foundation. For as long as we have been here, forests have nourished and sustained us.
Here at Conserve Natural Forests, we emphasize that carbon sequestration is only one of the ways that forests help us to thrive. That’s why our prime directive is a holistic approach to forest restoration that considers the myriad of benefits that trees provision here in the mountains of Northern Thailand and across the world.
When you give to the forest, the forest gives back.
Calculating your carbon footprint and the best way to reduce it can be very complicated. Reducing consumption and committing to sustainable alternatives are not only recommended – they are necessary and urgent. Some of these changes are relatively straightforward – carpooling, biking, electric cars, no wasted food, buying local, and more. Some are less straightforward, but arguably more important: contacting your political representatives, advocating policy change, organized demonstrations and protests, and especially voting. But despite our best efforts, we still live in a world that is highly dependent on fossil fuels (for now, at least). The heat in your home, lack of public transportation infrastructure, emergency flights – sometimes we have no choice. We at CNF have compiled data from partner organizations along with own research to estimate how many trees you would need to plant to effectively reduce your necessary emissions. Complex problems require complex solutions. So get out and vote, ride a bike, and let’s plant some trees!

If you’d like to donate, you can select a preset amount from the list which is based on the carbon emissions of the average person. If you’d like to find out exactly how many trees you’d need to plant to offset your annual carbon emissions, you can use the carbon footprint calculator below, and enter your result into our tree calculator. This will tell you how much you need to donate to offset your annual emissions through tree-planting.
If you are a business that believes in the value of fighting deforestation and habitat degradation and wants to reduce emissions, we are here to help! Please contact us at info@conservenaturalforests.org and we will assist you with designing a mitigation plan that aligns with your mission as well as ours.

HELP US RESTORE ELEPHANTS
TO THEIR NATURAL HABITAT
We work hard to ethically and sustainably relocate females to our project site, where they learn to forage, socialize, and care for themselves in a safe and abundant environment. Their natural habits also encourage landscape succession on our project site through nutrient cycling and seed dispersal. We would like to study the dynamic between elephants and tropical forests in Thailand and contribute practical, valuable data to the limited research currently available. When the elephants are ready, we will reintroduce them to a national park or wildlife refuge.
