Your 165

165 native trees.

That is one person's share of healing the planet.

Research led by the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich finds that the Earth has room for about 0.9 billion hectares of new forest, enough for about 1 to 1.5 trillion native trees, according to published estimates. If each of us helps restore about 165, together we can begin to heal the planet at a meaningful scale.

One mark, one tree. These are yours.

Borneo

An orangutan, the last tree, and a bulldozer.

The vision for Life Force Trees began with a single image: an orangutan standing on the last tree of its forest, trying to defend its home from a bulldozer. Ekaterina traveled to Borneo to see for herself. Where she expected ancient rainforest, she found endless palm plantations.

Speaking with local communities revealed the truth. They were not clearing the forest out of indifference, but out of survival, often to afford healthcare.

Protecting forests means standing with the people who know them best.

They have cared for these forests for generations. Forests of the World was born from what she witnessed there.

About the Artist

Ekaterina Sky

Ekaterina Sky is an artist who paints to protect our planet. She has painted since she was six and has worked as a professional artist for a decade. Borneo turned her work toward the living world: there she saw how every tree, animal, and drop of rain is part of one family. Her dream is to help people everywhere remember that we belong to nature and that together, we can help it heal.

Through her project, Life Force Trees, Ekaterina invites everyone to take action: to plant trees, protect rainforests, and restore the Earth's balance. Each tree planted is a living prayer for the planet, a small act of love that helps bring life, hope, and clean air back to the world we share.
