PLANTING THE SEEDS OF A WORTHY PROJECT
In 1998, IKEA created the Sow a Seed Foundation to reforest and maintain 18,500 hectares of lowland forest devastated by logging and forest fires in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah.
More than a million trees planted today
Working with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the forestry organization Yayasan Sabah and the Malaysian forestry company RBJ, we've planted over one million native trees of various species across more than 8,400 hectares of forest. This reforested area is now protected from logging for 50 years.
Housing, clean water, and medical care for our workers
Sow a Seed has helped build homes with clean water and electricity, meeting places for social gatherings, a school, and field accommodations for the roughly 150 Sow a Seed workers, who also get free medical care. IKEA has also helped fund a study a research centre to encourage more studies into rainforests.
