<\/i><\/div>Reforestation in Colombia: How Envol Vert and Rural Communities Are Working Together to Replant Forests<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Working for forests in collaboration with local communities \u2014 a successful bet in Coraza. Envol Vert and the residents have made tree planting possible through a technique adapted to the reality of each plot. This reforestation project in Colombia is generating numerous positive outcomes. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>What reforestation method is being used in Coraza, Colombia?<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

On Wednesday, April 15, 2026, a field visit was carried out in Coraza on the plots belonging to project volunteers. The goal was to identify planting needs in each area covered by the conservation agreement. This agreement aims to protect water points known as jag\u00fceyes, which are essential to the forest. A complementary objective was to strengthen biological connectivity corridors \u2014 in other words, to link forested areas together and allow the movement of fauna and flora. To achieve this, teams recommend planting only species adapted to local conditions. During field assessments, the species suited to each space were identified, along with the quantities required for each tree. But how can water areas be preserved in practice? It is essential to consider the sun’s orientation and prevent light from hitting the water directly. The goal is to create shaded areas around the jag\u00fceyes, reducing water evaporation and enabling better conservation conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>What positive impacts does reforestation have on people and the environment?<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

For this reason, tree species such as camaj\u00f3n, ceiba, and roble were prioritized, as they provide good shade and thrive in the local territory. Achiote and orejero, meanwhile, represent a strong economic opportunity for communities. Their derived products \u2014 jams, chutneys, and other preparations \u2014 can be sold through <\/span>the Tamand\u00faa brand<\/a>. <\/span>The initiative has sparked interest among several neighboring residents who are not yet part of the project, motivated by the importance of protecting the jag\u00fceyes and restoring degraded areas of their environment. This kind of action contributes to water and biodiversity conservation, and strengthens community commitment to environmental protection and territorial restoration. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
