Biodiverse and old natural landscapes absorb much more CO<sub>2<\/sub> than monocultures. They are less susceptible to diseases, pests and climatic changes. Thus, the quality and long-term preservation of ecosystems are crucial to efficient climate protection.<\/p>\n<p>Many organizations measure the success of their reforestation activities with the mere number of planted trees. But reforestation must be well-founded \u2013 instead of being impressed by mere numbers, certain aspects should be questioned.&nbsp; Which species are selected and how many of the seedlings actually become trees? How will the renaturalised area be protected in the long term or might it even be used economically at some point? What is being done with regard to biodiversity? These and other important facts are often not communicated.&nbsp; For us, on the other hand,&nbsp; it is important that renaturation creates the basis for the development of a high level of biodiversity \u2013 both in the projects we support as well as those we are planning.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that sustainable renaturation must have its price.&nbsp; One thing should be clear, in no country in the world can a tree be planted and preserved in the long term for only one euro. We see such concepts of reforestation, or rather the advertising of them, quite clearly as greenwashing.<\/p>\n<p>In order to live up to our conviction and make a meaningful contribution to climate protection ourselves, we founded PlantNOW as a non-profit nature protection organisation. We approach the important issue of renaturation in a sustainable and scientifically sound way.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-340254077 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 12px 12px 12px 12px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-340254077 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 24px 32px 32px 32px;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-340254077 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 48px 64px 32px 64px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1163081128\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1163081128 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_2023368921 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n  background-color: #384620;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section has-mask mask-angled-large has-parallax\" id=\"section_1207987641\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" data-parallax-container=\".section\" data-parallax-background data-parallax=\"-10\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1271\" src=\"https:\/\/plantnow.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/landscape_001.jpg\" class=\"bg attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"section-bg-overlay absolute fill\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1253403907\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1253403907 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-978997811\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1443088454\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-10\"  data-animate=\"blurIn\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center text-shadow-5 dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-630358837\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2>\u00bb<strong>In no country in the world can a tree be planted and preserved in the long term for one euro<\/strong>\u00ab<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-630358837 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1443088454 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 12px 12px 12px 12px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1443088454 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 48px 32px 32px 32px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-341682146\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-341682146 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1207987641 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n#section_1207987641 .section-bg-overlay {\n  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.35);\n}\n#section_1207987641 .section-bg img {\n  object-position: 50% 86%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section has-mask mask-angled-large\" id=\"section_126686213\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #Anders\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#Anders\" data-title=\"Was machen wir anders?\" ><a name=\"Anders\"><\/a><\/span>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1672597877\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1672597877 {\n  padding-top: 90px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row align-center\"  id=\"row-887092770\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-258890213\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left text-shadow-3 dark\" style=\"background-color:rgb(61, 153, 193);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-558797772\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2><strong>What&#8217;s the difference in our approach?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-558797772 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-258890213 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 12px 12px 12px 12px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-258890213 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 48px 32px 32px 32px;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-258890213 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 48px 24px 32px 24px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-504249252\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\" style=\"background-color:rgb(252, 252, 252);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3>Exchange, transparency and information<\/h3>\n<p>Renaturation needs to be well thought out &#8211; that is why&nbsp; we work with&nbsp; various experts and follow the latest findings in this field.
