Our project focuses on afforestation and reforestation in the Orinoco River basin of Colombia. The goal is to create long-term economic sustainability for the nearby natural reserve, which is dedicated to conserving local flora and fauna. We achieve this by employing natural farming techniques that support both the environment and the surrounding communities.

A mature tree produces 200 fruits

Transporting seedlings from the nursery to the field is a constant job during planting season. These happy new trees have been protected from the heavy rains and strong sun under the nursery tarps and wind breakers.

Over the past month our team has done a fantastic job securing and expanding the required sun protection for our nursery. The sun is very strong in the tropics and baby rainforest seedlings need the right kind of shade canopy to survive the scorching heat. We mimic the protection
