Tucked between the mountains of Central America, Honduras is rich in biodiversity and culture. From natural parks to Mayan ruins, it offers pristine landscapes and a Caribbean coast with the world's second-largest coral reef. Treedom supports local reforestation by planting mangroves, strengthening the coastal ecosystem and supporting local communities.

The important moments in your tree's life.
It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.
Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.
We’re here! Your tree has reached its new home: it’s been planted by a smallholder, who’ll take care of it for years to come.
Strike a pose! Now that it’s big enough, here’s a photo of your tree!

The important moments in your tree's life.
The White Mangrove is a small and medium-sized evergreen shrub with a rounded crown of scattered branches; it usually grows from 3 to 10 meters in height, but occasionally reaches 15 meters. It grows along the coastlines, resisting very high saline conditions, protecting the soil from erosion and forming proper habitats for many animal species.
Its roots, which look like an intricate web, offer shelter to many species of fish, and curb the land erosion caused by tides. A Mangrove's embrace is really precious.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.
It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
