About RAFI One to Tree
Simple actions can make greater changes. It starts with one, two, tree...
OTT was born out of the goal to slow down the effects of deforestation and illegal logging, and revive biodiversity in the Philippines. We house a dedicated team of native tree growing advocates who support our goals in growing native trees for a more sustainable future, with about 93% survival rate of trees planted. It's important to us to nurture these trees until they are fully grown, instead of just having the seeds planted left behind.
Through the years, we partner with businesses and communities in Cebu to offer community-based and environmentally appropriate native tree growing services in order to assist in restoring the tree cover lost.

"Before, we used to discard fruits by letting bats consume them. We've shifted to keeping and cultivating these seeds for planting, recognizing their impact on the environment and our livelihoods."
