About This Project
The Amazon rainforest is Earth's greatest carbon sink, but decades of cattle ranching have left vast areas barren. Our reforestation program transforms degraded pastureland back into thriving forest. We don't just plant trees—we restore ecosystems. Using a mix of 40+ native species, we recreate the forest's natural structure from ground cover to canopy giants. Local communities are central to our approach: we hire former ranchers as forest guardians, train youth in agroforestry, and develop sustainable income streams from non-timber forest products. Every tree planted is GPS-tagged and monitored for 10 years, ensuring real, lasting impact.
How It Works
Site assessment and soil remediation
Native seed collection from surrounding forest
Multi-species planting for ecosystem diversity
GPS tagging and satellite monitoring
Community employment and training programs
Agroforestry integration for sustainable income
