No talking here – we plant

Since 2021, Baumpaten Deutschland has been committed to transforming fallow forest areas in Germany into climate-resilient mixed forests. Instead of monocultures, site-appropriate and robust tree species are planted across the country, capturing CO₂ in the long term, promoting biodiversity, and creating valuable habitats for wildlife. It’s a quiet yet powerful contribution to combating the noticeable effects of climate change – and it’s needed now more than ever.

More than 83,000 tree sponsorships have already been taken on, and over 291,000 tons of CO₂ have been captured as a result. These are not abstract numbers, but real and measurable change – visible in Thuringia, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and soon also around Berlin and other regions. More than 2,900 dedicated sponsors are now part of this growing movement.

Why are healthy forests so important?

A healthy forest is much more than a beautiful landscape – it is an essential part of a stable ecosystem. It stores large amounts of CO₂ and thus makes an active contribution to climate protection. At the same time, it regulates the water cycle, protects the soil from erosion, and helps prevent flooding. As a rich habitat, it provides a home for countless animals, plants, and microorganisms, helping to preserve biodiversity. Forests also improve air quality, cool their surroundings, and have a proven positive impact on our physical and mental health. Finally, they act as a natural shield against extreme weather such as storms, droughts, or landslides – making our environment more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

Progress meets nature: The “Planting Drone” project

Technology and nature conservation are not mutually exclusive – and Baumpaten Deutschland proves this with another exciting initiative: the Planting Drones Germany project. The goal is to rethink reforestation – making it more efficient, precise, and faster. With the help of self-developed drones, seed capsules will be deployed with pinpoint accuracy to plant large areas more quickly and more effectively. This saves resources and time and ensures that even more high-quality, sustainable forests can be created.

Proud tree sponsor

For us at ekomia, sustainability is not an empty phrase – it’s part of our DNA. That’s why we’ve been proud tree sponsors ourselves since May 2025. The best part: we were able to choose freely where our trees are planted. We chose an area in Schönwalde near Berlin, where a monoculture forest will be transformed into a site-appropriate mixed forest in October 2025. A concrete step that reflects our commitment to taking responsibility.
