NIDA formed the reforestation program “Azuero Reforesting Together” with the international project Central Reforesting with the goal of reducing environmental problems caused by deforestation and misuse that man has given to natural resources.
There is not planet B
This will provide more oxygen to the planet and minimizing the effects of global warming, allowing many species have a habitat in which to develop and preserved.
Methods we use to reforest are: visits to the sites, the donation of seedlings to schools, and the provision of information about the importance of planting a tree through dynamic lectures and work with the communities in the Azuero Peninsula.
