Saving the Amazon is a Colombian foundation with an international presence, as we have operations in Colombia, Brazil and Peru, as well as an office in Madrid, Spain. But mostly, Saving the Amazon is an engine of social transformation. Since our conception we have sought to transform the way we understand our relationship with other people, with trees and in general with everything around us. Saving the Amazon has been working for more than 8 years with more than 25
indigenous communities for the conservation of the Amazon and the culture of the indigenous peoples who live there, through the planting of native trees.
All the trees are planted by the communities within their collective territories, they are marked with a name or message, codified and georeferenced. Each tree is cared for individually by indigenous communities for 3 years. At the time of planting each tree is photographed and then again every 6 months during the
36 months of care. All this individual and granular process is possible thanks to the technology that we have developed for this purpose, which allows us to carry out a simple and effective management of all the plantings carried out.
