At Treeapp, we’re constantly working to make your impact clearer, more meaningful and easier to follow. Today, we’re sharing an important update: our Madagascar Coastal and Madagascar Continental planting sites will now be merged into one unified Madagascar project.
Why we’re making this change
When we first launched Treeapp in 2020, we were excited to offer a wide variety of global planting sites; so excited, in fact, that Madagascar ended up with two separate projects:
a coastal location where you funded mangrove restoration, and
a mainland (continental) location where you planted mainly woodland trees.
At the time, separating these felt like a great idea: two ecosystems, two project types and more choice for users. But over the years, we’ve learned something important: simplicity helps you understand your impact more easily.
Having two Madagascar projects has sometimes caused confusion… especially when tracking planted trees, switching between project types, or understanding how your contributions support the island’s overall restoration efforts.
By merging these two project areas into a single Madagascar project, we’re making your experience clearer and the country’s impact page easier to follow, while still supporting both ecosystems on the ground. This also lays the groundwork for a very exciting update we will be sharing in January 2026 with you.
What this means for your planted trees
You will not lose any trees. Not a single one.
All the trees you’ve planted, whether in coastal mangroves or in the continental woodland, remain fully accounted for. They will simply appear under one combined Madagascar project going forward - the treecounters will be unified.
Your total tree count, badges, streaks and achievements remain completely unchanged.
Will this change how or where trees are planted?
No. The teams in Madagascar will continue planting in both coastal and mainland ecosystems, just like before. The difference is purely in how these projects appear in the app.
Our planting partners on the ground still maintain both types of restoration work, and your contributions will continue to support them exactly as they always have.
Why this is good for you
A clearer experience: Only one Madagascar project to choose from each day.
More accurate tracking: All your Madagascar trees in one place.
Less confusion: No need to remember which of the two Madagascar projects you planted in previously.
Same great impact: Mangroves and mainland trees continue to thrive thanks to you.
Why this is good for Madagascar
Combining the projects allows us to present the country’s reforestation story more holistically. Madagascar’s ecosystems are deeply interconnected, and restoring both coastal and inland areas contributes to better biodiversity, healthier waters and stronger community livelihoods.
A unified project helps us communicate this story more clearly, and shows how your daily taps support a wider environmental mission.
A heartfelt thank you
We want to reassure you that this change is simply an improvement in how we organise your impact, not a change in the impact itself. Every tree you’re helping us plant means the world to us.
Thank you for continuing to show up every day, one tap at a time, to restore forests around the world. Your consistency, care, and enthusiasm have made Treeapp what it is today, and updates like this help us keep improving the experience for you and the planet.
If you have any questions about the merge or your Madagascar trees, we’re always here to help.
With gratitude, The Treeapp Team
