When and Why?

The Plant-A-Tree-Today (PATT) Foundation was formed in 2005 with its mission to react to problems caused by the massive and increasing levels of deforestation worldwide, raise awareness of environmental issues and the role forests play, take action against climate change, educate children on these issues and to PLANT MORE TREES.

We are a UK registered Charity with an operational office in Bangkok, Thailand. We currently work within Asia to campaign for better environmental practices, take action against climate change, implement small to medium tree planting projects as well as provide funding for partner projects, set up school tree nurseries and provide environmental education, and fund community development projects in rural communities centred around tree planting and reforestation.

How and What?

PATT is aimed at combating climate change and providing economic, social and environmental sustainability through community based forestry projects in developing countries. We intend to work in conjunction with corporate partners, government and intergovernmental agencies, non governmental organizations (NGOs), local authorities, and local communities to plant 1 million trees per year in locations worldwide.

The PATT Foundation aims to assist countries, organizations, communities and educational institutions in their efforts to achieve ecologically sustainable development which can involve:

•Raising public awareness of climate change and environmental issues facing the world today
•Integrating economic, environmental, and social goals in policies and activities
•Ensuring that environmental assets are properly valued and managed
•Providing intergenerational equity
•Providing communities with forests with which to derive forest products and a sustainable income
•Providing investigational, interactive learning experiences for schools
•Sourcing funding for current projects focused on reforestation

The PATT Foundation supports countries, organizations and communities in using, conserving and enhancing resources so that ecological processes, on which life depends, are maintained and quality of life for both present and future generations is increased.

Through joint initiatives with our partners worldwide we aim to implement various environmental projects in reforestation and afforestation. By securing funding from intergovernmental and government agencies, corporate sponsorship and individual donations (through our website) we can support our partners in implementing suitable projects designed to have a positive impact on the environment along with sustainable economic benefits in local communities in critical locations around the world.

Offset Your Carbon Emissions!

PATT also provides an easy and convenient way to donate to offset your personal carbon emissions or that of your company or organisation. This enables individuals to make a difference on a personal level. Our projects have far reaching effects beyond simply planting trees to absorb carbon, however, as we work with experienced and reputable implementation organisations to restore degraded forest areas, provide economic sustainability to rural villages through tree planting and establish educational forest centres.
