Our mission

Where the desert meets the canopy

Dubai is transforming. As part of ambitious reforestation and green-city initiatives, trees are being planted in one of the world's most challenging climates. We connect that mission to the global internet community.

  • Every .tree domain directly funds certified tree planting in Dubai
  • $1 per domain — transparent, verifiable, real
  • A second tree planted automatically on each annual renewal
  • No extra steps required — your domain purchase does the work
  • Open to registrars worldwide through the ICANN accreditation system

Registration & renewal

Your domain keeps giving

The .tree model rewards long-term domain ownership. The longer you hold your domain, the more trees you contribute to the world.

When you buy

Registering your .tree domain for the first time triggers an immediate $1 donation. One tree is planted in Dubai on your behalf.

🌱 1 tree planted

When you renew

Every annual renewal of your .tree domain plants a second tree. Year after year, your digital presence grows a real forest.

🌳🌳 2 trees on your first renewal, 3 on the second one, etc.

Example: Hold a .tree domain for 5 years → 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 trees planted. A small corner of a forest, from one domain name.

ICANN new gTLD programme

A new extension for a greener internet

.tree is being submitted as part of ICANN's next New gTLD Programme — the global process by which new internet extensions are introduced. Joining this round places .tree alongside the next generation of meaningful, purpose-driven domain extensions.

What is a new gTLD?

Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) are the suffixes at the end of domain names — like .com, .org, or .blog. ICANN, the global internet authority, periodically opens application rounds for new extensions. The .tree extension will be proposed in the upcoming round, competing to bring an environmental identity to the internet namespace.
