Description of the project with Acción Andina
In the Córdoba landscape, the planting of Polylepis australis has been carried out since 2020, reaching over 580,000 planted trees, with a goal of 150,000 additional trees for the 2024/2025 season. In the Jujuy landscape, work with Polylepis tomentella has been carried out since 2023, with around 60,000 trees planted and a projection of another 60,000 in the next season. Both initiatives seek to recover high-Andean forests in collaboration with local communities.
This map shows the communities and landscapes where we’re growing native trees, restoring ecosystems, and strengthening local stewardship through Acción Andina.
