Cooperation with Plant-for-the-Planet

Partnership with Plant-for-the-Planet Extended!

The children’s and youth initiative “Plant-for-the-Planet” is a long-standing partner of the Chocolate Museum. In the early years of the partnership, the museum supported a tree-planting project in Mexico. Forest restoration is a challenging task that requires a long-term and holistic approach. Starting in 2026, we will therefore support a new project in Ghana, a key cocoa-producing country. Among other things, the project will investigate how to restore damaged forests on a large scale and reintroduce extinct species, which methods are most effective in different ecosystems, and how forests can withstand the challenges of the climate crisis.

Plant-for-the-Planet: Top projects

The Plant-for-the-Planet platform brings renaturation organizations and planting projects together with donors worldwide. Restoration organizations can register their planting project on the Plant-for-the-Planet platform and provide detailed information about the project, such as location, number of trees to be planted and planting costs per tree. Donors have the opportunity to donate to various planting projects via the platform. They can freely choose which project they would like to donate to on an interactive map. All donations are forwarded to the respective planting project free of commission. Donors can also create their own profile and set individual planting goals in their dashboard. They have an overview of the number of trees they have donated at all times.
