Description
Forests are considered the green lungs of the earth and play an important role in the production of oxygen and the reduction of CO2. Due to global warming, these forests and thus our ecosystem are endangered.
The aim of the project is to plant at least 50,000 native trees to counteract this process. Through large tree nurseries on their premises, they grow the trees themselves to compensate for the lack of financial resources. There is also an ecological reserve where trees and plants from native species are preserved.
As a volunteer, you can support the project in both areas, planting trees and preserving native species. Get involved in climate protection and become part of the fight against global warming.
Basic knowledge of Spanish is a prerequisite.
