Your Ecosia searches in Germany just became more independent.
Earlier this month, we started delivering results from our European search index to some searches in Germany, and plan to serve a majority of German search queries by Janaury.
Right now, most searches in Europe depend on infrastructure controlled by just a few US companies.
So we built an alternative.
Together with @npub1yrc…txj5, we created European Search Perspective, a European search index for more choice and digital sovereignty 🚀

We set up trail cams in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains… and this is who showed up 🥹
The Carpathians are home to some of Europe’s most iconic wildlife — but years of farming and grazing have pushed wildlife out of parts of this landscape.
Together with our partner Transylmagica, we’re restoring native forests, and wildlife is beginning to return with them.
Every search with Ecosia helps fund projects like this 💚

Your income shouldn’t shape how much shade you get. But it does.
In US cities, wealthier neighbourhoods often have far more tree cover than lower-income ones — the result of decades of disinvestment and redlining.
That means cooler streets and cleaner air for some, and more concrete and heat for others.
Trees are climate infrastructure. Every neighbourhood deserves them.

At Ecosia, we are a proud search engine alternative.
When you search with us, you protect your data and plant trees. Making the switch is simple—get your step-by-step recipe here:

Less concrete, more trees.
Trees are nature’s air conditioner 🌳 They lower air and surface temperatures, release moisture into the air, filter pollution from the air and create homes for wildlife.
But many cities are dominated by concrete and tall buildings instead, absorbing the sun's heat and reducing wind flow.
That's one of the reasons cities can be up to 5°C hotter than rural areas.*
Urban trees aren't decoration. In a warming climate, they’re essential infrastructure.

Only one of these streets is built for a heatwave.
Trees are some of the best cooling tools cities have.
In some conditions, they can cool urban air by up to 8°C and land surfaces by up to 12°C.
They also filter air pollution, make streets more walkable, and create homes for wildlife 🌳
Does your city need more trees?

This is what happens when a company is not-for-profit.
Back in April, the Ecosia community collectively financed over 1 million trees — as well as solar farms and regenerative agriculture 💚
Your searches can fund this instead of billionaire shareholders.
Just switch to Ecosia.

Happy Digital Independence Day! 🌱💻
We believe in a greener and fairer internet. That’s why we’re working to reduce our reliance on Big Tech.
In 2024, we launched European Search Perspective (EUSP), our joint venture with Qwant.
Today, we’re already serving some search results from EUSP’s own index — a step towards more transparency and digital sovereignty.
It's also about the tools we use every day: we recently moved our press materials to Twake, a European open-source platform.

Both look green… but only one is a real forest 👀
This land used to be a palm oil plantation. Today, it’s a thriving forest.
15,240 trees planted in partnership with FKL 🌳 And we let nature do the rest.
In just over a decade, the landscape recovered.

How satisfying is this forest transformation?
Throwback to this before-and-after from ‪our partner IPÊ‬ in Brazil, where we’re supporting the restoration of the Atlantic Forest.
After 3 years of planting forest corridors, 26,000 trees are growing 🌳
And animals are starting to move through the forest again.
Thanks for being part of it 💚

📍 Rwanda
Together with One Acre Fund, we work with nursery managers like Israel Sebzsungu, who carefully nurture the seedlings that become Ecosia trees.
For the past 6 years, Israel has steadily grown his nursery. Today, he’s not only growing high-quality trees for his community, but also earning a stable income to support his five children and invest in his family’s future.
When you search with Ecosia, you’re not only planting trees. You’re supporting livelihoods for years to come.

5 years and 5000 trees later, this land in Senegal has transformed 🌳
Before, the soil was so dry that farmers struggled to grow crops.
Thanks to the support of the Ecosia community, we’ve partnered with Trees For The Future to create food forests in Senegal that help farming communities adapt to the effects of climate change.
Here, trees grow alongside crops, protecting them, restoring the soil, and cooling temperatures 🌳 And families can harvest more fruits and vegetables 🥭

A first look at Ecosia’s AI with our founder, Christian 🌱
We’ve planted 240 million trees together — and we’re just getting started.
Now, we’re launching a greener AI search: energy-efficient, optional, backed by renewables, and privacy-friendly. And, as always, we use 100% of our profits for the planet.
P.S. You’re not into AI? No problem. You can turn it off any time.

Europe has been facing another deadly heatwave.
In 2024 alone, 175,000 people in Europe lost their lives to heat-related causes (source: UN).
As cities heat up, streets lined with trees can be up to *12°C* cooler than those without — providing shade, cleaner air, and a home for biodiversity 🌳
Despite this, tree-free concrete jungles have become the norm, especially in lower-income neighborhoods.
🌿 Is your city keeping people safe, or leaving them to overheat?

The US government’s climate cuts nearly killed 360,000 trees meant to protect Dr. Jane Goodall’s famous chimpanzees.
Then millions of ordinary people stepped in. Thanks to your searches, we're able to plant the seedlings and defend the forest (and the chimps who call it home).
Thank you to the Jane Goodall Institute and Jane Goodall Institute Austria for their incredible work!
