Impact & strategy
Growing hope with evidence
By 2030, we aim to be a credible, safeguarded and community-rooted foundation that restores ecosystems, protects biodiversity and builds nature-positive livelihoods.
Early momentum
Campaign results to date
The 1 Million Trees Planting Campaign has already mobilised partners and contributed to planting more than 510,000 trees between April 2025 and March 2026. Our strategy now embeds survival tracking and stewardship.

Outcomes
Five strategic outcomes
Ecosystem restoration
Degraded school, community and landscape spaces are restored and managed through practical tree growing, wetland protection and ecosystem restoration actions.
Youth leadership
Children and youth demonstrate increased knowledge, confidence and leadership in climate action, conservation and nature-positive citizenship.
Biodiversity coexistence
Communities living around conservation landscapes improve awareness and practice of wildlife and biodiversity protection, including peaceful human–wildlife coexistence.
Green livelihoods
Women, youth and community groups adopt conservation-compatible livelihood and food system practices that improve resilience while reducing pressure on fragile ecosystems.
Institutional credibility
The Foundation operates as a credible, safeguarded, accountable and learning- oriented organisation with diversified partnerships and resources.
Roadmap
Five-year implementation path
Foundation & pilot
Clarify identity, complete NGO registration pathway, build governance and safeguarding, and pilot in 3–5 selected sites.
Consolidation
Strengthen pilot quality, operationalise tree survival tracking, publish the first annual report and sign partner MOUs.
Expansion
Scale proven models to additional schools and districts; launch the youth climate forum; activate resource mobilisation.
Influence & partnership
Use evidence to influence partners and local governments; institutionalise the annual Children for Nature Forum.
Maturity & next strategy
Evaluate the five-year strategy, document impact stories and design the 2031–2035 period.
Be part of the evidence
Fund pilots that can be measured and shared
Support tree survival monitoring, school clubs, youth ambassadors and livelihood pilots that produce records, stories and learning—not just activities.
