Our project aims to restore the Yungas ecosystem, heavily degraded by human activity, by planting native trees to attract biodiversity and rebuild the natural environment. As part of the "Community Program", we are also planting native fruit trees in the understory. This initiative not only supports forest recovery but also provides resources for nearby communities, fostering a sustainable relationship between people and the ecosystem.

Our camera traps brought us an incredible surprise: a "Oso melero" (Tamandua tetradactyla).
This charming neighbor of the yungas, a relative of anteaters, thrives in forests, woodlands, and savannas. Its diet is truly unique—it loves ants, termites, wasps, and even honey! With its
