Ecosia

🔎 Search engines are infrastructure. And infrastructure must be neutral.

In energy, rail, and telecoms, whoever controls the infrastructure cannot favor their own services. The same logic must apply to search.

At Ecosia, we index the web. We don't compete with it.

The EU's decision against Google is an important step. But the fine is not the point. The behaviour must change — and be monitored rigorously.

Users deserve genuine choice. That starts with keeping the gatekeeper and the competitor as two separate roles.

Europe is burning. Again.

Over 30,000 people have been forced to flee their homes as out-of-control wildfires tear across southwestern Europe.

Driven by extreme heat topping 44.7°C (112°F) and a scorching Mediterranean marine heatwave, firefighters are fighting blazes house by house.

This isn't just summer heat—it's the climate crisis in real time.

Droughts are drying out landscapes, creating tinderbox conditions where fires spread faster and burn hotter. Restoration is no longer optional; it's emergency infrastructure.

We’ll keep planting trees to restore water cycles, cool local temperatures, fight soil erosion, and build resilience against extreme weather.

We can't stop every heatwave overnight, but we can reforest the planet if we do it together 🌍

Meet Amaille.

In 2023, she started planting trees alongside her crops in Nyarusange, Rwanda, in partnership with ‪@oneacrefund‬ and Ecosia.

Today, those trees protect her fields from erosion, hold moisture in the soil, and naturally boost her crop yields.

The extra income has changed everything. Amaille was able to buy livestock, secure money for her family’s healthcare, and send all four of her children to school.

Trees don't just store carbon—they build financial stability.

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 ‪@transylmagica6213‬ , we’re restoring native forests, and wildlife is beginning to return with them.

Foxes, deer, bears, and other species have already been spotted in our planting sites 🌲🦌

Every search with Ecosia helps fund projects like this and restore more habitat for wildlife 💚

Getting ready to plant trees in West Bengal, India 🇮🇳🌳

Our partners at Symagine work with local communities who raise tree seedlings.

Community leaders teach the community how to plant and care for them. Then, each household takes home a few saplings 🌱

The leaders then visit the families and help keep track of how the trees are growing.

A forest, grown by the community that lives there 💚

If you think it’s just a tree… think again.

It’s also water, food, shelter, livelihoods, clean air and so much more.

Protect trees 💚

Wait… that’s the same place? 🌳👀

These before and afters are the result of years of reforestation work with local communities and restoration partners around the world 💚

Every search on Ecosia helps us plant native trees where they are needed most, turning degraded landscapes back into thriving forests that support people and wildlife.

It's your choice.

Not everyone wants AI when they search — so now you can turn all of it off on Ecosia. Or keep it.

Search your way, and keep funding climate action 🌱
