PLANTING WITH PINS
At Pin Hive, every pin you purchase helps make a lasting impact on the planet. Through our partnership with Sprout, we plant a tree for every pin sold, turning your pin collection into something even more meaningful. Together, we’re not only celebrating the magic of pin trading but also giving back to nature - one tree at a time. Continue reading to learn more.
WHAT KIND OF TREES DO WE PLANT?
Trees are planted by Eden Reforestation Projects in partnership with thegoodapi.com.
Your purchase will lead to the planting of mangrove trees in Madagascar.
We contribute a % of each sale towards tree planting because reforestation efforts revive natural habitats, improve coral reef health, support local livelihoods and aid in the fight against climate change by extracting CO2 from the air..
Mangroves are unique ecosystems found throughout a wide range in the tropics and occupying the intertidal areas of more than 120 countries. Mangroves, and coastal wetlands in general, are globally important for the many services they provide to humans and the planet. These services include protection against storm surges, sheltering nurseries for fish and other marine life, providing building materials, firewood, and providing critically important services to stabilizing the global climate as an important store of carbon.
WHY DO TREES MATTER?
This may seem like a silly question but it’s not! The trees that we plant with Eden Reforestation Projects through Sprout support wild life diversity, improve coastlines, provide meaningful wages to indigenous population and grow Mangrove trees - which are an incredible carbon sink.
Globally, mangrove systems are estimated to hold an astounding 20 petagrams of carbon. For a biome representing less than 5% of the world’s terrestrial area, this makes mangroves one of the most important carbon stocks, even more than many rainforests like the Amazon. Equally, as a relatively fast-growing group of species, mangroves sequester carbon at a very fast rate.
