Welcome

Hello and welcome to JogoGreen. First, we want to thank you for helping plant trees in order to keep our environment green. The idea for the Jogo movement started in early 2008, when trying to think of a fun and easy way for people to learn more about being environmentally friendly, and actually make a difference at the same time. By playing the JogoGame, you're not only planting carbon-hungry trees, but spreading the word about keeping the Earth clean. It's with your help that we'll really be able to make an impact!

Who Plants the Trees?

We're able to plant trees with money received from advertising revenue. So don't be annoyed by the advertisements you see on our question pages. They're the ones funding all the trees! When you answer 10 questions correctly, we have enough advertising revenue to plant one tree through a fantastic organization called Trees for the Future(TFTF). TFTF provides technical knowledge on agroforestry and sustainable development, along with planting materials so that communities can return their degraded lands and struggling farms back to sustainable production.

Beneficial trees minimize soil erosion, supply forage for animals, and provide a source of fuelwood, but planting trees is difficult when the canopy has disappeared, topsoil has been eroded, and the climate and growing conditions have changed. Through our network of technicians, volunteers, and community leaders world-wide, our program reaches remote areas and gives local people the knowledge and ability to rehabilitate their environment. Trees for the Future has planted nearly 50 million trees in Africa and Latin America since 1989 and we want to allow them to plant a whole bunch more. Check out their video on the impact your trees are making.

What is Jogo?

No, it doesn't mean "Hey Joe, go green!" Jogo is Portuguese for "game," but more importantly, it's just a catchy name that sparked an idea. Plus it's a great prefix for helpful games. Sign up for our newsletter to find out about forthcoming games that will help save endangered species and feed the hungry. So join the JogoMovement and let's plant some trees!
