Reforestation is trending, but not all tree planting is created equal. In the Gran Chaco, aggressive non-native planting often erases rich native ecosystems, draining water, displacing wildlife, and sidelining local communities.
At Taruma, we believe the most powerful way to fight climate change and biodiversity loss is to protect what’s standing and restore what’s been lost.
