GoodPlanet - Des Forêts et des Hommes

who are we?

GoodPlanet Foundation was founded in 2005 by Yann Arthus-Bertrand to raise public awareness on environmental issues and environmental protection and became a non profit organisation in June 2009 to undertake long-term actions.

The foundation encourages a way of life that respects the Earth and its inhabitants. It encourages each person to take action and offers realistic suggestions. Its universal message invites each individual to reflect on the planet’s evolution and its inhabitants and join the cause.
