20 years ago, the area in which the fincas are located was covered with exotic wood forests. Forestry companies consequently cleared these forests to use the land for growing teak. The previous owners used this land mainly for livestock farming. The adjoining areas of land are teak plantations.

“I am very proud to say that I work in a forestry enterprise. People always ask me, “with teak?” – but I answer, “No, we are cultivating Generation Forests!”

Darién region

We currently own several project land areas in the Darién region, including our first afforestation project in the tropics, which we started in 2017. The region is famous for the Darién-Gap, the only interruption in the Pan-American Highway, which links Alaska with Tierra del Fuego. Darién was originally covered in lush rainforest. However, in the 1970s, livestock farming strongly encouraged deforestation. The diminishing sustainability of the soil has resulted in the continuous decrease in livestock numbers. The objective of our projects in Darién is to regenerate the fertile soil and create green corridors between existing forests.

    Our fincas are located in the Panama Canal watershed, so our forests not only sequester CO₂, but also make a positive contribution to the water management of this waterway that is so important to the world economy.
