In Russia, a solution to increase forest areas was found six years ago. Indeed, the Russian Post Bank's programme "Gift a forest to a friend" has been operating for exactly six years. In 2020, the programme counted about one million participants and approximately four million trees had been planted.

As the project representatives report: everyone has the opportunity to plant a tree, even without knowing how to use a spade. Everyone has the opportunity to improve the situation on the planet, even if they believe that nothing depends on a single individual.

The programme is based on an online tree-planting service* (in cooperation with the Russian Post Bank).
