Reforestation Plantation Forest 144,38 ha

Are you interested in enabling a permanent high-impact reforestation?

Total of 144 hectares, of which 120 ha are available for reforestation with a close-to-nature, mixed native-species, permanent production forest under the innovative Generation Forest concept.

Impact goals for this area:

  • Capture and permanently store more than 120,000 tCO2e,
  • Biodiversity habitat restoration & connectivity: Expand the vast natural forest area of the indigenous Embera-Wounaan territory
  • Provide important sustainable income opportunities for families of the nearby indigenous Embera and Wounaan communities (8 full-time-employments on average over the next 10 years)
  • Function as a natural and economically productive buffer zone to counter and reverse the expansion of the agricultural frontier into forests of the neighboring indigenous territory
  • Restore soils and hydrological ecosystem services in the watershed of the adjacent Chati river

Possible native fine-timber species for reforestation include: Dalbergia retusa (Cocobolo-rosewood), Swietenia macrophylla (Mahogany), Cedrela odorata (Spanish Cedar), Tabebuia impetiginosa (Ipe), Tabebuia rosea (Savanna Oak), Astronium gravioles (Tigerwood), Dipteryx panamensis (Mountain Almond), Miroxylon balsam and Centrolobium yavisianum

Beyond the reforestation, remaining forest patches of the finca are permanently protected.
