- Celebrating 10 million trees planted through One Print, One Tree
Celebrating 10 million trees planted through One Print, One Tree
When we launched Canva Print, we wanted every order to make a positive impact. Through our One Print, One Tree initiative, we've now planted over 10 million trees – restoring landscapes, supporting communities, and helping build climate resilience around the world.
When we launched Canva Print(opens in a new tab or window) in 2021, we knew it would have a footprint. However, we also saw an opportunity: what if we could help restore the planet(opens in a new tab or window) with every Print order?
That idea became One Print, One Tree(opens in a new tab or window): our commitment to plant a tree for every Canva Print order. What began as a simple promise has since grown into a global reforestation program – focused not just on planting trees, but on restoring landscapes, supporting communities, conserving habitats for wildlife, and contributing to long-term climate resilience.
Three years on, it’s become one of the most meaningful parts of our Two-Step Plan(opens in a new tab or window): 1) to build one of the world’s most valuable companies; and 2) to do the most good we can.

Today, we’re excited to share a milestone made possible by you, our community: we’ve now planted over 10 million trees through One Print, One Tree.
Across 26 sites in 13 countries, these trees are helping restore 10,901 hectares of land, while supporting 13,700+ people through local jobs, training, and community-led environmental work.
A global program with a local focus
Since we launched One Print, One Tree with our partners Reduce Reuse Grow, the program has supported planting projects around the world – from tropical rainforests and mountain regions to coastal zones and farmland.
In the early years(opens in a new tab or window), we planted across more than 20 sites – including in Haiti, Mozambique, Indonesia, Brazil, Canada, and the United States – working with local partners to protect endangered species, stabilize hillsides, regenerate farmland, and introduce more sustainable farming methods.
Some of our largest reforestation efforts have taken place in:
- Tanzania – where over 5 million trees have been planted through agroforestry initiatives
- Nepal – where 1.7 million trees have been planted to protect biodiversity and hillside watersheds
- Mozambique – where 1.9 million trees are helping reverse forest loss across three sites

Deepening impact through place-based partnerships
As the program has grown, so has our focus. We’ve moved from a wide-reaching planting model to one that prioritizes fewer, deeper partnerships with local organizations and communities. Today, our long-term efforts are centered around three high-impact sites in Tanzania, Malawi, and the Philippines – each designed with long-term ecological outcomes, sustainable livelihoods, and cultural knowledge at their core.
Tanzania
Our largest active site is in central Tanzania, where we’ve committed to planting over 6 million trees across 4,026 hectares. The project uses agroforestry techniques to regenerate soil, improve biodiversity, and create long-term livelihoods for local farming communities. Trees planted here serve multiple functions – from fuelwood and fruit production to protecting croplands and improving water retention. In early 2025, the project received certification under the Preferred by Nature Ecosystem Restoration Standard – a third-party audit confirming the ecological and social outcomes of the project.
The Philippines
Spanning 1,200 hectares, this site supports the planting of 3 million native trees from over 60 species – in partnership with the Obu Manuvu Tribe, including the Ahom, Datal, Magwan, and Udto clans, who are playing a central role in the restoration of their ancestral lands.
Using drone-based mapping technology, the community is reforesting its ancestral lands with precision and purpose. Beyond environmental goals, the project supports cultural revitalization and strengthens the Obu Manuvu’s ties to their land – including the publication of the Mohingod Philosophy, documenting the Obu-Manuvu’s traditional knowledge, culture and traditions.
In the Philippines, Project ReGAIN seeks to restore forest cover, reconnect habitats and provide additional nesting sites for the endangered Philippine eagle
In October 2024, the community hosted the first Mohingod Festival, a historic event at which tribal elders, government leaders, and local NGOs came together to formalize a shared commitment to environmental protection. This site also received Ecosystem Restoration Standard certification in early 2025. We’re committed to working with our partners and the local communities at both of the certified sites on the continuing development of the projects.
Malawi
Our newest planting site will launch over the coming months in southern Malawi. Over 1.5 million trees will be planted across 890 hectares, with a focus on supporting sustainable charcoal production. This approach is critical to local sustainability efforts as a counter to illegal logging, helps preserve remaining old-growth forests, and supports long-term income generation for local communities.
Thank you
Every tree planted through One Print, One Tree exists because someone in our community chose to print with Canva. From cards and stickers to mugs, posters, and menus – every order has helped grow something far bigger.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
We’re so grateful for the role you’ve played in this journey – and we’re excited to keep growing, learning, and regenerating landscapes for a more sustainable future, together.
