Active Restoration
Summary
Andean Adventures has been working together with local communities in the Chimborazo province to restore high altitude Polylepis forests. A large focus of the project is conducting continuous training with the local communities on reforestation issues in order to raise awareness about the importance of caring for the environment, building water catchments, and strengthening ties with more neighboring communities to open up opportunities for the identification of new planting sites in the future.
