The project aims to boost the community nurseries, made up of 190 families, and reforest the region by introducing the silvopastoral approach to small dairy farmers (planting trees in their meadows) and restoring watersheds. Planting 13,000 native trees, as well as developing economic alternatives based on medicinal plants and raising environmental awareness among local inhabitants, will reconcile economic development with preservation of the rich biodiversity in the Colombian Andes, especially the unique páramo ecosystem, which is at risk of disappearing.
95% of the donations received will be put into the project and the remaining 5% used to cover the running costs of A Tree For You
