Together with Bosquiaa, we have planted 150 trees in Cué, Llanes, Asturias to restore wealth to a degraded area. The trees planted are native to the area, they are already grown before they are planted to guarantee rooting and are from certified nurseries in the area.

7 different species have been planted to achieve a mixed forest: hawthorn, sessile, holm oak, ash, laurel, birch and buckthorn.

CommuniTree Carbon Program is a community initiative in Nicaragua that brings together small farmers in order to reforest parts of their unused land.

Reforesting disused farmland improves water capture in the dry season and minimises flooding and landslides in the rainy season. In addition, it helps to regulate the water that flows into the nearby Royal Estuary, one of the most important in Central America in terms of biodiversity.

As only seeds of native species are used the genetic wealth that favours the maintenance of mature forests is reinforced, the genetic wealth that favours the maintenance of mature forests is reinforced.

The hectares of jungle recovered contribute to the capture of CO2 globally on the planet and are therefore recognised as a carbon sink by participating in emission compensation programs. The planted trees function as efficient carbon pumps, capturing CO2 from the air and holding it in their plant structures. These trees can grow up to 10 times faster in the area of Nicaragua area than in northern climates and therefore their benefit in the fight against climate change is increased.
