Protect Amazonian Biodiversity, Perù

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.

It’s lupuna season (Ceiba pentandra). The tree sometimes called “the mother of the forest” is decked out in all of her finery. How lucky we are to get to see it.

It's one heck of a deal. Plant a tree, and we'll throw in some animals. We thank Mother Nature, thanks Mother Earth! It's true. Plant a tree and the generosity of life is such that you don't get just a tree, you get animals too.

For only the second year ever, Camino Verde is on the cusp of producing over 100,000 seedlings this calendar year, representing over a hundred species. Though it’s common for us to hit 50k seedlings in a year, it’s rare that we break a hundred grand. Hooray for keeping the tree nurseries…
