Latin America has experienced a series of extreme weather events, including forest fires, high temperatures, and devastating floods, all of which are intensifying due to climate change. In response to these challenges, we have made the decision to expand our operations to several Latin American countries, including Colombia, Honduras, and Peru. Our primary objective is to restore degraded areas, working to combat the effects of climate change and protect the region’s ecosystems.
Among our reforestation plans it is this reforestation project in the community of Macashca, located in Huaraz, Peru. In order to start this initiative we have had the valuable collaboration of Living Earth, an NGO committed to environmental protection and sustainable development. This project focuses on planting more than 500 trees in the Andes Mountains, at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The species selected for this project include Queñual and Radiata Pine, trees known for their resistance to the harsh altitude and climate conditions of the region.
The Queñual, native to the Andes, is vital for soil conservation and water retention. This species helps prevent erosion and improve local biodiversity. Radiata pine, although not native, adapts well and restores degraded areas effectively, providing long-term ecological and economic benefits.
