Reforesting

The Alliance for the Million

It is a public-private pact that aims to reforest one million hectares over the next 20 years, which will reduce the rate of deforestation of natural forests, contribute to carbon sequestration to turn Panama into a low-carbon country, in addition to other social, environmental and economic benefits generated by reforestation.

This partnership will contribute to the implementation of national forest policy and climate change policy, sustainable development and improved forest governance.

our WORK

ANCON's work in the Alliance for a Million

ANCON together with private enterprise has taken on the challenge of recovering forests, and reforesting on canal thatch in protected areas. Working within the following components:

Reforestation of protected areas invaded by canal thatch

In 2015 and 2016 we reforested in Camino de Cruces National Park and in 2017 in Soberanía National Park.

Recovery of watersheds degraded by the advance of the agricultural frontier.

We are reforesting the basin of the Escárrea River in Volcán - Chiriquí in hectares ceded with the support of the farms in the area.

We need the support of private enterprise to continue our work.

  • Prepare the reforestation day.
  • Provide maintenance for 5 years to the plantation ensuring 90% of plantation survival.
  • Conduct visits with the company for 5 years to monitor the progress of the plantation.

If you are interested in sponsoring the reforestation of one hectare with canal straw, join the Alliance for the Million. Together, we can restore ecosystems and promote sustainability in Panama.
