As part of a collaboration with the Botanical Garden of the National University of the Jungle (UNAS), native tree species from the Botanical Garden were made available to farmers in the department of Tingo Maria with whom Envol Vert works. These trees are the fruit of a natural regeneration process that contributes to reforestation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

The International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO), defines the process of natural regeneration as the renewal of trees through self-sown seeds or natural vegetative means<\/strong>. Natural regeneration is then the most important ecological process for the renewal of plant species through time (Nordern, 2014). It favours the process of ecological succession, thanks to which an area that has suffered disturbance can at least partially recover its structure and floristic composition (Uriarte and Chazdon, 2016).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
