Our project aims to protect biodiversity in the Peruvian Amazon while promoting indigenous rights and sustainable development. We work at the intersection of people and forests, planting trees and fostering sustainable practices to protect the ecosystem. Through this, we support indigenous autonomy and spread sustainable ways of life to encourage fair, long-term development.

Baumschulen-Setzling
Nursery Seeding
Seedlings transition from the nursery to their permanent site. Seedlings spend 3-6 months in nurseries before being transplanted, usually during the rainy season. The seedling bags are usually plastic. In this case, the seedlings are removed from the bag to be transplanted into the soil.

Tree-Nation Methodology

Projektbeschreibung

A forest for the trees of the Amazon, Camino Verde Tambopata is a reforestation center and organization whose work lies at the intersection between people and forests. The Living Seed Bank is home to experimental plantations with over 400 species of native Amazonian trees planted to date. Our nurseries produce thousands of seedlings representing over a hundred species a year. Our mission is to demonstrate, implement, and spread regenerative strategies that address the needs of human and other biological communities in the Peruvian Amazon and beyond.

As of March 2023, thanks to Tree-Nation donations, we have been able to plant over 60,000 trees within our sites in Madre de Dios and Loreto.

A biodiversity hotspot, the Madre de Dios region and the Tambopata Province are home to an age-old knowledge of practical plant lore regarding the use of hundreds of species of trees and other plants. As a result of population booms and rapidly accelerating development in the past three decades, forests began to suffer the telltale signs of over-exploitation. Formerly robust populations of the dozens of species of timber trees harvested commercially have dwindled precipitously in recent years.

Now more than ever, we benefit from practical knowledge of the use, management, and restoration of native forest resources, many of which are poorly understood and improperly studied. Along with seeds planted, the forests need people who recognize the seeds, know how to plant and care for the trees, and experience the value of the fruits and other products.
