Your searches on Ecosia saved this forest in Indonesia 🌳🌳🌳

With our partner, Leuser Conservation Forum, we turned a former palm oil plantation back into a thriving, diverse forest.

5 years later, it’s unrecognisable. Wildlife and native trees have returned 🦧🌳💚

You can help too. Download Ecosia and share this with a few friends. Let’s bring more forests back. https://www.ecosia.org/

Digital Sovereignty in Germany: Words vs. Action

100 days after pledging stronger digital sovereignty, German ministries still rely heavily on US tech.

98% use Microsoft Edge, 75% keep Google or Bing as default search, and most communicate via US social platforms.

Despite political promises, European alternatives remain underused.

We call on ministries to switch to @ecosia@mastodon.social and adopt a @Mastodon@mastodon.social -first strategy.

We set up a forest camera and this is who showed up. Kibale in Uganda is known as the primate capital of the world, home to endangered species like chimpanzees, mangabeys, and many more. With our local partners UCF, we’re helping native forest grow back by removing invasive plants, turning the removed plants into fuel briquettes for cooking, and planting locally grown native trees. 142,000 trees planted, protected, and creating homes for wildlife 💚

AI is changing how people search. So we built an alternative that works for the planet.

Ecosia’s AI is lighter, optional, and backed by 100% renewable energy.

Sorry, red roses. Turns out the carbon math isn’t very romantic.

Look who’s back in the forest 🦊🌳

In Romania, farming has pushed wildlife out of parts of the Carpathian Mountains.

So we’re replanting native forests with our partner Transylmagica. And the animals are already coming back 💚

Thank you for searching with Ecosia and making this possible.

Come with me to visit our tree planting sites in Rwanda with our partner One Acre Fund 🇷🇼

Ecosia has been planting trees with 100,000+ small holder farmers in Rwanda since 2020. Every year, farmers are invited to collect seedlings from local nurseries, to be planted among their crops as part of our agroforestry model.

This helps restore soil, protect harvests, prevent erosion, provide shade, and secure livelihoods for the farmers 🌱

If you think it’s just a tree… think again.

It’s also water, food, shelter, livelihoods, clean air and so much more.

Protect trees 💚

Native lawns > traditional lawns.

One is a dead zone. The other is a diverse ecosystem 🐝

Wildflowers and native plants turn the average grass lawn into a habitat, supporting pollinators, improving the soil, and using less water and chemicals.

Which lawn would you choose?

Trees do so much more than just regreen a landscape.

They’re homes and food sources for countless animals 🦧🌳

When we plant trees, we restore habitats – and protect the lives that depend on them.

💁 November was a good month

Here's a breakdown of how your Ecosia searches are funding climate action 💚

5 years and 5000 trees later, this land in Senegal has transformed 🌳

Before, the soil was so dry that farmers struggled to grow crops.

Thanks to the support of the Ecosia community, we’ve partnered with Trees For The Future to create food forests in Senegal that help farming communities adapt to the effects of climate change.

Here, trees grow alongside crops, protecting them, restoring the soil, and cooling temperatures 🌳 And families can harvest more fruits and vegetables 🥭

planet > money 🌎

our founder, Christian, didn’t build Ecosia to pay shareholders or become rich. he made a promise: all profits will always go to the planet.

so far, we’ve planted 245 million trees, and supported climate action, local communities, wildlife, regenerative agriculture, and clean energy in 38 countries 💚
