To break down the spending, Ecosia spent 40% of its revenue from this period on trees, with a further 10% going to green investments like solar plants and regenerative agriculture.
In November of 2020, the search engine generated over €1.8 million ($2.2 million) and financed over 650,000 trees. The search engine regularly posts financial reports on its blog to disclose total monthly revenue and identify what percentage was used to plant trees. Trees are also planted in some of the poorest agricultural regions in the world to help restore soil, increase biodiversity, and provide alternatives to monoculture crops.Įcosia is transparent about its revenue and tree-planting activities. These efforts are focused mostly on biodiversity hotspots, which only make up around 2.3% of the earth’s surface, but nevertheless account for half of all unique plant species and over 40% of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. EcosiaĮcosia is currently committed to 20 tree-planting projects in 15 countries all around the world, from South American countries like Peru and Brazil to Madagascar and Ethiopia in Africa, and other countries, including Spain and Indonesia. The search engine is also concerned with the plight of animals around the world that are losing their habitats to deforestation. The service acknowledges that trees can help empower and lift vulnerable populations out of poverty through the regeneration of depleted soils and agroforestry food-growing programs.
