TEMA, The Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, for Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats

About the Project

Our collaboration with KAFT, which began in 2020, began with a limited-edition T-shirt project called Planterra (1,600 units), with all proceeds donated to the TEMA Foundation. As a result of the donations received, a commemorative forest was created in the Kırklareli Malkoçlar afforestation area.

Our collaboration continued in 2021, 2022, and 2023, and three new designs were created on the theme of human-nature relationships. Four saplings were donated for each T-shirt chosen through the KAFT website. These designs, titled LUENDA, VOGLEMU, and TREVEBLO, were inspired by the story, "Deers, trees, birds, and all the creatures whose lives we interfered with returned as if from a long vacation. The deed to the house belonged to us, but the planet belonged to them." Similarly, sapling donations from the proceeds of these T-shirts were used to create two commemorative forests in the Gaziantep Balıkalan and Eskişehir Sancar afforestation areas.

Our collaboration with KAFT continues into 2023. Inspired by the story "Every being in nature's creative scene accompanies the mysterious symphony of existence with its own unique vibration," three new t-shirt designs, titled ERITHIA, LIRIEN, and ALEURIN, have been created. Proceeds from each design will continue to donate four saplings to our Foundation, and a fourth memorial forest will be created in Edirne. Everyone who chooses one of these t-shirts will receive an e-certificate from our Foundation.
