Colombia – Agroforestry & Reforestation

We support local families in Puerto Asís to restore degraded land through agroforestry systems that combine açaí palms, native trees and sustainable farming practices.

Every contribution plants a seed for the future.

Restoring the soil. Resting hope.

Deforestation and limited opportunities for sustainable income are among the biggest challenges facing the Colombian Amazon.

As forests disappear, biodiversity declines and local communities often have few alternatives to generate long term livelihoods.

With few sustainable ways to earn a living, many families are left with little choice but to rely on activities such as illegal logging, cattle ranching, or ilegal crops, all of which contribute to deforestation.

Today, around 70% of Colombia’s deforestation takes place in the Amazon, threatening one of the world’s most important ecosystems.

Agroforestry gives Amazonian communities a different path restoring forests while creating a reliable source of income for generations to come.

What is agroforestry?

Nature and agriculture working together

Agroforestry is a way of farming where trees and crops grow together.

Farmers plant açaí palms alongside native trees to restore degraded landscapes and regenerate the forest.

From nursery to forest

Growing seedlings

^{Together with our partner we grow acai and native timber species}

Supporting farmers

^{Families are receiving training and technical guidance}

Planting trees

^{Trees and crops are planted together}

Restoring landscape

^{The lands recovers, soil improves and biodiversity returns}

Creating opportunities

^{Families have access to a sustainable income for long term}

Circular Economy in action

^{Only 5% of the açaí fruit is used for pulp, with the remaining seeds often discarded as waste. In this project, these discarded seeds will be processed into organic fertilizers, enriching the soil and contributing to sustainable farming practices.}

Nature is returning

^{Creating wildlife habitats restores biodiversity by providing safe spaces for native species to thrive and repopulate.}

Meet the people behind the project

^{Amazonian families are at the heart of this initiatives. their work and their commitment make restoration possible.}

Help grow the next hectare

Every donation helps Amazonian families to restore the forest, improve the soil health and create opportunities for families in the Colombian amazon.
