Imagine being able to help forests grow, soils become healthier and to improve the air quality in your region with just a few clicks. Sounds good? Then Carbexx is the right place for you! Our platform makes climate protection tangible, transparent, and effective. Support targeted reforestation projects and make an active contribution to climate protection. Planting a forest not only protects the climate – it also actively shapes a future worth living in.
That's why it's worth planting a forest:
- 500.000 hectares in Germany: Due to drought, bark beetle infestation, and storm damage, vast areas of forest have died in Europe in recent years. According to official estimates, around 500,000 hectares could be reforested in the near future in Germany alone!
- Planting season in spring and autumn: Planting trees is preferably done in spring and autumn. During these seasons, the soil is moist, temperatures are mild, and the water needs of the young trees can be better met.
- 8 tons of carbon per hectare: A healthy, mature mixed forest in Europe stores an average of about 8 tons of carbon per hectare per year. This roughly corresponds to the CO2 emissions of a mid-size car traveling 40,000 kilometers. In the long term, forests thus make an invaluable contribution to climate protection.
- Organic mixed forests: Carbexx consistently focuses on resilient and diverse mixed forests instead of vulnerable monocultures. Converting to site-adapted species strengthens resistance to pests and extreme weather.
- Local projects: Many reforestation projects fail not because of the idea, but because of a lack of funding. Yet there are numerous well-prepared projects just waiting for funding for implementation. Every decision to plant a forest counts!
Plant forests and promote ecological balance
The climate crisis is no longer an abstract threat of the future. Extreme weather events, large-scale forest fires, and droughts are occurring more frequently around the world and endangering entire ecosystems. At the same time, over 6 million hectares of forest are lost every year, further accelerating global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes that reforestation and planting forests are among the most effective measures in the fight against climate change.Forests bind CO2, regulate the microclimate, improve soil quality, and provide habitat for countless animal and plant species.
But for forests to achieve their full impact, we must act today! Because a tree needs 30 to 40 years to store significant amounts of CO2. This means: every day counts. Reforestation is not a short-term solution, but an investment in the ecological balance of the future.
Plant a forest with Carbexx
Carbexx puts an end to opaque donations and unclear project goals. Instead, our platform, thanks to state-of-the-art technology, enables greater participation. As the first end-to-end crowdfunding platform for nature projects, Carbexx creates a central point of contact for anyone who wants to not only finance sustainable climate protection but also actively support it – for example, by planting a forest.
Project developers post their reforestation projects on the platform, including precise information on location, schedule, tree species, maintenance measures, and cost structure.
Donors do not pay a lump sum for a project, but rather in stages – depending on documented progress. Photos, videos, and satellite images ensure the necessary transparency. Furthermore, as a supporter, you can contact the project teams directly, ask questions, or subscribe to updates. Carbexx thus brings together not only capital and projects, but also people with a shared vision: to stop climate change through reforestation!
With Carbexx you plant forests in these regions:
Carbexx projects start where the pressure for action is greatest. In many regions across Europe, recent years have left enormous forest damage. These areas now offer the opportunity for an ecological fresh start.
To ensure the best possible conditions for the growth of young trees, forests are planted seasonally in autumn and spring. Donors can specifically select projects near them to strengthen ties to the region and play a concrete role in shaping change. Reforestation works best where legal certainty exists and committed project developers are active!
Start your own forest project in three steps:
1. Select a project: Use the map or filter to find a reforestation project in your region.
2. Get in contact: Ask questions directly to the project team and get to know the people behind the project.
3. Suppport a project: Invest specifically – you only receive payment requests upon project progress and documentation delivery.
Plant a forest with Carbexx!
Reforestation is an active contribution to climate protection. Support our selection of projects on Carbexx that store carbon and simultaneously create new habitats!
FAQ:
1. Which forest planting projects are offered?
Carbexx initially offers projects in Germany and Central Europe, with a special focus on destroyed or abandoned forest areas. The selection of reforestation projects is constantly growing, and international initiatives will be added in the future. Each project is thoroughly examined: from the planned tree species to the schedule and cost structure. The direct project description lets you know exactly where your support is going.
2. When is the best time to plant forests?
In Europe, autumn and early spring are the optimal planting times. During these phases, the soil is moist, temperatures are moderate, and the young trees can grow best and form stable roots. The timeframe may vary slightly depending on the region and soil conditions. Therefore, the planned timeframe for each project is also listed on the platform. This allows you to see exactly when the forest will be planted.
3. Can I also make small donations to plant a forest?
At Carbexx, every contribution is welcome and effective. Our platform was deliberately designed so that both larger donations and smaller contributions are directly allocated to a specific project. Even with a small amount, you help co-finance important forest planting measures. Payment is not a lump sum, but only when a project makes demonstrable progress.
