Restoring Ayapel wetland planting together

Our dream of planting 1 million trees is getting closer and closer. In 2017 we managed to build the nursery of native species, we were able to start the production of the first 30,000 trees and prepare them to reach the Ayapel swamp. But 2018 is the year in which we started sowing in territory with our Ranger families. We are doing very well and we want to thank you for trusting Corpoayapel.

The first thing we did this year was to invite families of fishermen and farmers to sign up for the project, then we visited the farms on the banks of the swamps, we defined the lots and the species that we were going to plant. But the most important thing was missing and is to start sowing with the community. To date, we have planted 2,300 trees and by the end of July we will see the first 10,000 trees planted. In November we will have planted the first 30,000 trees.

We hope that many more people around the world will come together and help us to rehabilitate the second most important swamp in the country. We must ensure that one of the 10 RAMSAR wetlands in Colombia has recovered and this is only possible with the support of all.

Here are some photos of the work we are doing with the communities and we want to invite all donors to share with friends and family so they can also link with the resources they can. It is very easy to help and generate a giant impact on one of the most important ecosystems in the world.
