Volcano Valley Reforestation
Toluca, Mexico
With this goal in mind, Plant-for-the-Planet A.C. (Mexico) and PROBOSQUE, an organization of the Mexican Ministry of the Environment, agreed to cooperate in the state of México. By 2019, 2.8 million trees had been planted. The majority of the trees are planted and cared-for jointly by ejido groups. Others are planted by individuals or cooperatives.
In 2020, we planted another 1.5 million trees together with the small farmers organized in cooperatives, thus spreading the responsibility of tree care over many shoulders. And in 2021, we scaled up our efforts further and managed to plant 5 million trees.
