About I Hug Trees

We believe in nurturing a love for nature and tracking green cover from space. Explore our mission, vision, and initiatives to protect the planet.

Why We Exist

We exist to remind humanity that every tree is a thread in the fabric of life.

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower communities to protect and restore forests and urban green spaces. Through research-driven insights, open data, and simple, engaging stories, we make environmental knowledge easy to access. Together, we’re building a world that celebrates trees, nature, and our shared responsibility to care for them.

We align with global efforts, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 13: Climate Action, and Goal 15: Life on Land, to drive environmental conservation, growth, and prosperity for all.

We’re excited to soon offer new eco-friendly products that embody our commitment to sustainability and the protection of trees.
