2. grab the Plant a Billion Trees widget

You can help The Nature Conservancy's work to protect and restore 2.5 million acres of land and plant 1 billion native trees in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.

The Atlantic Forest is considered one of the world's biggest and more endangered tropical forests -- only 7% remains. But through this project, where it only takes one dollar to plant one tree, you can help make a truly lasting difference for our natural world.

Explore the Atlantic Forest with our interactive map and learn more about the 23 species of primates, 1,000 species of birds and over 20,000 species of plants calling this forest home -- many of whom are found nowhere else on Earth.
