Our mission is to restore the forest landscapes of the Amazon by strengthening forest communities.

We do this by partnering with Amazonian farmers and native communities to regenerate forests and improve livelihoods.

Camino Verde’s Approach:

Planting regenerative agroforestry systems made up of a diversity of native trees, including endangered keystone species.

From these reforested trees, we produce non-timber forest products, including high value essential oils from rosewood and moena alcanfór.

Communities benefit. Forests are enriched.
