Our Impact
Treeapp - Plant a Tree Campaign
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between The Juhler Group and Tree App, aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability and transparency through our 'Plant a Tree Campaign.' This collaboration underscores The Juhler Group's commitment to environmental protection and the local communities.
As part of this initiative, Juhler Group pledges to plant one tree for every position we fill. Treeapp, a global tree planting organization, operates sites across the world, planting over 200 different species of trees across five continents. Their sustainable approach and collaboration with local farmers, communities, and experts have earned them recognition from Sir David Attenborough and international news outlets.
In this partnership, Juhler Group is investing in a private forest located in Indonesia, focusing on growing mangrove trees with the expertise of Treeapp. Indonesia's unique tropical climate and archipelagic geography support some of the world's highest biodiversity levels. However, over the past three decades, Indonesia has lost over 40% of its mangrove forests, leading to increased flooding and natural water-related disasters that affect both flora and fauna.
Mangrove estuaries are crucial as they form natural barriers for erosion control, protecting farmers' lands during tropical storms and flooding. These reforestation efforts also benefit around 300 species of tropical birds and over 500 species of coral reefs. The importance of this area to conservationists cannot be overstated due to the broad range of species it supports.
Treeapp's model of working directly with multiple local planting communities and NGOs ensures cost-effective and impactful reforestation. This direct approach not only enables planting at scale for corporate partners but also maximizes the positive environmental, social, and economic impacts where trees are needed the most.
We are excited to embark on this journey with The Tree App, leveraging their expertise to protect and restore the local environment in Indonesia and beyond. The project is launched with the planting of 37,338 trees in the Private forest of the Juhler Group.
