Amazon Windshields

As shown in the photo, these new seedlings are about to be planted as a direct continuation of the restored forest standing tall in the background—a project we began two decades ago. Step by step, this forest is actively gaining ground against deforestation in the area and reclaiming

As you can see in the image, our field team—along with a couple of very attentive canine supervisors—is taking a brief rest under the shade of trees planted many years ago. Don't let the relaxed poses fool you, though; they are actually just gathering their energy to plan the thickening

Our team practicing the high-level art of "intense staring" at the future site of a critical windbreaker. Turns out, it takes an extraordinary amount of serious contemplation, time and planning in the field to ensure the trees don't get performance anxiety later! Planning for tomorrow,

The fresh recruits are here!
Dropping off our sapling army in their new home. They may look sweet and delicate now, but the nursery life (with its perfect shade and easy watering) is officially over.
Next stop: Tree Hardening Boot Camp. Think 'drop-and-give-me-twenty (new roots)'

Looking at the massive sorghum plantation, its obvious that currently has the wind protection of a paper umbrella in a hurricane.
To optimize the microclimate and drastically reduce crop evapotranspiration, we are deploying a comprehensive shelterbelt matrix by year-end. We will

Classroom Escapees Trade AC for Agroforestry.
In a daring escape from fluorescent lights, university students descended on our planting sites. Trading laptops for boots, they came to study our agroforestry windbreakers—proving real science happens in the dirt.
It’s a win-win: students

Rule #1 of agroforestry in Santa Cruz: You must be at least 1.60 meters tall to survive the grass. 🏃‍♂️🌳

We are skipping the "vulnerable little sprout" phase for these native trees planted inside a Bolivian sugarcane field. Dropping them in at a commanding 1.60 meters is a highly

We just finished onboarding our newest team members in San Julián. These Tabebuia impetiginosa saplings have a big job description: serve as a living windshield and lead the charge in recovering local biodiversity.

No pressure, guys, but the whole ecosystem is counting on you. We’ve

We are preparing the land for a new windbreak installation!
As shown in the photo, we prioritize leaving a thick layer of organic mulch (vegetative cover). This isn't just about clearing a path; it’s a deliberate strategy to:
• Conserve Soil Moisture: Protecting the ground from evaporation.
• Climate

Sustainable Farming Takes Root in San Ramón, Bolivia

SAN RAMÓN, BOLIVIA – A new chapter for sustainable agriculture has begun in the Chiquitania region. A pioneering project is launching its next phase, implementing silvopastoral systems—an innovative practice that integrates forestry

🌳 84,000 trees will be planted across three sites in Bolivia as part of the Amazon Windshields project.

By combining trees and agriculture, the project improves wildlife corridors, boosts crop yields, and helps reduce deforestation in the Amazon.

We are getting ready for an important reforestation effort in the Okinawa region, Santa Cruz, specifically at the "El Retiro" property!

Our goal is to establish a windbreak curtain, a natural barrier of trees that helps protect the soil, crops, and biodiversity from the effects
