We are really grateful and proud of what we achieved this year :

More than 50,635 trees planted all over Belgium thanks to the support of Luminus, Department Environment Flanders and private donations. Since 2005, we have planted or helped to plant more than 170,000 trees in Belgium in 38 Forest in One Day tree planting events.
Our commitment to education and youth empowerment led us to conduct 219 workshops with 3,805 children across Belgium. We created 5 new board games on diverse environmental thematics to children of primary and secondary schools.
We received more than 1000€ of donations for helping the chimps and supporting our work in Chimp Eden sanctuary and Dindefelo Reserve in Africa. To our actual Chimp Guardians who have supported the centra on a recurrent basis, we express our deepest gratitude for being part of this mission year after year.
