31 December 2021, Siniloan, Laguna, Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Looking forward to another amazing year in 2022, FEED received it’s first order for 5000 trees from EcoMatcher Ltd. in Hong Kong well before midnight on the 31st of December – which is when we decided to count not only the record volume of 65,000 trees planting for a record year by any single donor partner of FEED, but also our blessings for a strengthened partnership built on trust, reliability and authenticity of pursuit in our joint contributions towards sustainable development.
It means the world to our forest rangers, families, barangays/villages and foresters on the ground, who are the actual guardians of our forests; along with the local communities, researchers, students, volunteers and other corporate partners who battle even the heaviest winds often to ensure their contribution towards climate change solutions, especially having come out of surviving the latest pandemic completely changed and closer to nature.
On our communities behalves, FEED is very grateful to EcoMatcher and all our partners who braved also lockdown and movement restrictions, limited budgets and other survival resources, and significant ties cut from families, friends and colleagues also going through their own struggles.
To date, EcoMatcher and FEED’s other individual, corporate and NGO partners, buttressed by the insurmountable resilience and reliability of our community-based forest guardians – are growing to the rising demand and urgent need for eocsystem restoration on all fronts: from Ridge to Reef and for all living creatures dependent on each other in this connected Earth.
Thank you EcoMatcher and partners for putting your trust in our Living Legacies that we know will continue to impact positively on everyone’s efforts – no matter how great or small, every tree matters, and every one who plants for a greener and more sustainable future for generations to come.

Business Opportunities
More and more companies are starting to realize that climate change and sustainability is a business opportunity, not a burden. Customers and employees are demanding action. Companies, however, need trustworthy partners that offer transparent sustainability solutions
Welcome to EcoMatcher
Through EcoMatcher, companies can plant trees, use them in innovative ways and improve their businesses. For example, companies can use the EcoMatcher platform to gift trees they plant on behalf of the customers, or plant a whole forest and distribute the trees to each of their employees, or gift trees as a reward for finalizing a survey. The possibilities are endless.
So how we do that?
We partner with vetted foundations from around the world that specialize in tree planting. Through our platform, you have access to information about every tree you plant, and you can tap on cool digital technologies to make the best use of the trees you have planted. We cannot change the world by ourselves, however with a bigger team effort we can make a difference, while improving our businesses at the same time.

NATURE IS SPEAKING (Narrated by Julia Roberts)
What can I do to stop climate change?
“As the world warms, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, sea levels are rising, prolonged droughts are putting pressure on food crops, and many animal and plant species are being driven to extinction. It’s hard to imagine what we as individuals can do to resolve a problem of this scale and severity.
The good news: We are not alone. People, communities, cities, businesses, schools, faith groups and other organizations are taking action. We’re fighting like our lives depend on it — because they do.
In a world of more than seven billion people, each of us is a drop in the bucket. But with enough drops, we can fill any bucket.” – David Suzuki
