The Sacyr Foundation has a forest in the Amazon since 2021. The planting areas are located in the Amazon region of Colombia, in indigenous territories.
Thanks to our alliance with Saving the Amazon, 2,504 trees were planted in 2025 in the indigenous communities of Murutinga Arenal, Puerto Corroncho, Puerto Paloma and Tayazú in Vaupés.
The trees planted by the Foundation reduce the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), thus mitigating the effect of climate change.
The most planted species were Patabá (Oenocarpus bataua), Wasay (Euterpe precatortia) and Aguacatillo (Persea beilschmiedia), which represent 0.44% of the Foundation's total forest.
The most accurate approximate capture value for the planting of the 2,504 trees planted is 2,378.63 tons of CO2.
In the local communities where the planting took place, 80% of the families that participated in the planting do not have any other additional source of income. From the joint work of planting, an important work is being done to provide employment so that they can begin to improve their quality of life.
Gender equality has also been promoted as both men and women worked together to plant the trees. This helped to break down gender stereotypes and promote equal opportunities.
