Our project is focused on restoring Córdoba's high-altitude forests, which are essential to the region's water supply. With only 3% of these forests remaining, they continue to serve as natural reservoirs, providing water to 90% of the population. By replanting native Tabaquillo trees (Polylepis australis), we aim to bring back forests to the mountains again while protecting biodiversity, and secure water resources for future generations.

Descripción del proyecto

Bosques de Agua is dedicated to the reforestation of high-altitude Native Forests in the Sierra Grandes region in order to restore the Pampa de Achala watershed and its biodiversity.

One of the native trees that grow at these heights is the Tabaquillo (Polylepis Australis). Its forests form among the clouds and provide highly valuable environmental and socioeconomic services, such as the protection of water sources, erosion control, and regulation of the microclimate and habitat for numerous species.

So far, we have already bought and protected 210 hectares, in the heart of the Provincial Water Reserve of Pampa de Achala, in it we have 140 hectares, where we have to begin restoration and reforestation work. To achieve that goal we are already producing 300,000 Polylepis trees, which we will plant this year, 2023.
Our measurements estimate that they are born in our reserve, an approx. of 2 million liters of pure and drinkable fresh water per day. We already have advanced negotiations for the purchase of land for conservation for at least 4,500 hectares.
