Targeted to increase forest cover and mitigate the effects of climate change, Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc.'s One To Tree program involves local communities in biodiversity conservation while fostering a sense of environmental stewardship among the residents. Highlighting the ecological importance of growing native trees and supporting them through providing another source of income, the farmers and their families become the guardians of their own natural heritage.

The impact goes beyond environmental benefits, as “One to Tree” transforms individuals into community leaders who are passionate about preserving their local ecosystems. Through the program’s community-based approach, the program demonstrates that when communities are engaged and empowered, they become proactive protectors of their environment.
