Native forests are all natural forest ecosystems in different stages of development that have a tree cover of native species.
Our country has 53,654,545 hectares of native forest distributed across 23 provinces, representing 19.2% of the country's continental surface.
Native forests ensure the functions of water regulation, biodiversity conservation, soil preservation and water quality. They also play a fundamental role in the global carbon cycle and in mitigating climate change, since they act as natural carbon sinks. These ecosystem services have the characteristic of being community-based.
In 2014, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that 4.3% of global deforestation occurs in our country.
7.6 million hectares of native forests disappeared between 1990 and 2015.
And during 2020, more than 1,100,000 hectares were razed by fires.
That is why, at ReforestArg, we carry out ecological restoration actions in native forests degraded by natural or human causes, where their recovery would naturally be impossible.
