Nicanor project area

Some time ago on this area forests were cut down for pasture. The previous owner used one of the spaces as a paddock. The current vegetation primarily comprises grassland and occasional scattered trees.

Darién region

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, deforestation was strongly encouraged due to livestock farming. 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.
