We are thrilled to announce our new afforestation project in collaboration with CEDEPAS, in the district of Arapa in southern Peru. This community reforestation ensures not only plant regeneration, but also the establishment of native groves capable of withstanding extreme conditions above 4,000 metres above sea level. Queñua reforestation not only contributes to climate change mitigation, but also strengthens water security, protects crops, and creates a foundation for new community development opportunities around native forests.
