Reforestation Project

For us the Lifespan of a Fly seems not much longer than an Instant. 

For the Mothertrees in the Jungle or Rainforest our Lifespan could be perceived quite similar.

But as we, species of so called evolved humans, are able to clutch the Fly we don’t hesitate to cut down and kill what stands since 1000 years.

In the region where I live, in the province of Puerto Inca, a region known for it’s mesmerizing hot water springs, although there still is a lot of virgin jungle, a significant amount was tumbed down by the Ganaderos, mainly in the 80’s and 90’s where the jungle seemed to have no value at all except for selling precious hardwood and convert land into pasto, grassland for the cows. Still today the awareness is not overly profound and people take down trees for all kind of reasons, sometimes for no reason at all. In the area where I live there is a lot of grassland and the jungle was decimated so dramatically that it has difficulties to sustain its balance. Not everywhere and not as disastrous as in Brazil but perceivable, especially when living in the jungle.

In present moment there are several reforestation programs going on, planting all kind but mainly eucalyptol.

So I decided 2 years ago to do my own humble reforestation project, trying to convert grassland back to jungle and also taking down Purma inside the jungle and planting what will grow big and one day hopefully will build a canopy of Mothertrees. Since than I planted around 50 Mothertrees and a good amount of ancestral medicinal trees and plants, as to name: Ayahumas, Manchingas, Tornillos, Renacos, Shiuahuacos, Fikus, Mahagoni, Cedros, Huairiurus, Capironas, Remo Caaspis, Tahuaris, Catahuas, Sangre de Grado, Copaibas, Bobinsanas etc….many of this species live more than one millennium, more than 1000 years. And they need their time to grow, ….so all what is done will not be seen in it’s total result and I am aware of it.

To raise the awareness of the Locals and especially of the ( big ) family of Ganaderos I am involved and entangled with, I gave their names to the various trees and made them aware of their Patenschaft. They liked the idea a lot to suddenly be owner of a tree, although they own them anyhow somehow it initiated a change of perception to see the tree which carries their name.

So I plant and do what is in my ability but I came to a point where it exceeds my budget to do it without any support as I need to purchase, transport, carry and plant, and this after having prepared the space. A lot of physical action is required and costs. I am not willing to stop reforesting but got to my limit of what I can do without help of the world.

That is I why I decided to include a Donation button below. The Jungle is the Ashram. Participate and let it grow!

Every Donation is a huge help and more than welcome and you included in my prayers and for every Donation exceeding 10US$ I will plant a Mothertree and it will be your tree, growing thanks to your awareness and under your spirit and I will take care of it and also be able to show and update you about yearly growing progress if desired.

Apart from that you are welcome to come and bless it by yourself any time!
