Restoring forests with trusted partners
Deforestation is devastating the planet’s forests. By turning carbon-based pollutants to oxygen, trees are one of Earth’s best weapons against rising temperatures. That’s why Mastercard launched the Priceless Planet Coalition – an initiative to help restore 100 million trees in places with strong potential for positive impacts on climate, community, and biodiversity, thanks to our partnership with Conservation International and the World Resources Institute.
