Through this Geoforest link, you can geolocate all the trees planted in the Sacyr Forest in the Amazon.
The Sacyr Foundation contributes to the growth of this forest by planting specimens of 514 different species. In addition to the 1,254 trees already planted, we are adding 800 more for this year in the Colombian Amazon.
Positive Impact
With this action, we encourage the economic growth of the region, as resources are mainly directed towards payment for plantations to these communities, thus fostering economies that did not exist before.
Within the community where the planting took place, Tayazú, 97.5% of the families that participated in the planting have reported an improvement in their quality of life in the last five years. This improvement is not only due to the planting process with the Foundation but also because of the diversification of their sources of income.
In addition to socio-economic growth, this forest has significant environmental benefits: its potential total CO2 capture with STA is 766,156 Kg.
