But it was my time working with an NGO in Madagascar, where I witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of environmental changes that truly sparked my mission. Combining gaming and sustainability just made sense. Billions of people play games, so why not harness that entertainment to create real-world impact? So far, the results speak for themselves: we&#8217;ve built an engaged global community committed to protecting the environment.<\/p>\n<p><image><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Imagine Games team, Cl\u00e9ment, from France\" border=\"0\" id=\"imgCaption\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgu0GgaI-i0NMfW7cmqmKysZXfwynzQagbmxQIeQRYXWP8yA4HJMG0cvM6Gsne5H5sfsxh-IfeYG9MhwoWby6vxUONvfY9XPvdz9QrWGamY_T7JTIzRMZYE0mVVgkjO4RURrzcl_nnOVV_-97UMa5NYlOmhm8WN94uiBwP7bRrgGXLczjao-o7sCihcfCE\/s1600\/08_FRANCE_IMAGINE%20GAMES%20_TEAM.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/image><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\">How do players in <i>My Lovely Planet<\/i> make real-world differences through the game?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>With My Lovely Planet, planting a tree in the game means planting a real tree in the world. Our community has already planted over 360,000 trees through partnerships with NGOs like Graines de Vie in Madagascar, Kenya, and France. We&#8217;ve also supported ocean-cleaning, bee-protection, and drone reforestation projects.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing fun with impact was key. Players wouldn\u2019t stay just for the mission, so we focused on creating a genuinely fun match-3 style game. Once gameplay was strong, we made real-world actions like tree planting core rewards in the game, helping players feel naturally connected to their impact. Our goal is to keep growing this model to protect biodiversity and fight climate change.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Can you tell us about your drone-led reforestation project in France?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Our latest initiative involves using drones to reforest areas severely impacted by insect infestations and other environmental issues. We&#8217;re dropping over one million specially-coated seeds by drone, which is a completely new and efficient way of reforesting large areas. It\u2019s exciting because if this pilot succeeds, it could be replicated worldwide, significantly boosting global reforestation efforts.<\/p>\n<p><image><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"a drone in mid air dropping seeds in a forested area\" border=\"0\" id=\"imgCaption\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg-6LQh4RXwFwJUE2pxbvzeqgHxb3ob8BizL6n3UhUX30mALyQlkXMYut4a749fEBwMTgpWH8bTtfsJh8MY6JPEmTEzHCIptcWK2P6x07FGL2D6SujFQbvb3VeiQeNSM15jahLPCN30XuIfYQqldUA_pPO5cwBREFgw4H2hN1qSLRwMrGzAbowHYXjk5oA\/s1600\/10_FRANCE_IMAGINE%20GAMES%20.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/image><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\">How has Google Play helped your journey?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Google Play has been crucial for My Lovely Planet \u2013 it&#8217;s our main distribution channel, with about 70% of our players coming through the platform.
