Trees as "giants" of the plant world belong to the flora in standard categorization, whereas animals belong to the fauna. A tree is categorised as a species by the structure of its roots, trunk and crown. But what exactly distinguishes flora from fauna? The latest research results show that many boundaries become blurred, upon closer inspection. For plants, and especially trees, possess their own form of social intelligence: they communicate with each other, they support each other and yes, they even react to touch.

Yes, we always talk about trees! And yet, in truth, it is never just about the individual tree, but about something much larger: the restoration of an entire ecosystem. A healthy ecosystem strengthens and sustains itself through circular processes and symbiotic relationships. So a tree, in a community of other trees, initiates a process that in the long run not only improves soil, water access and air quality, but can decisively shape the living conditions for humans and animals. To create such a cycle, a tree-planting project must take into consideration more than "just" the tree.
