Bocas Rainforest Reforestation Initiative - BRRI
Planting the Seeds of Hope in Bocas del Toro
Planted Rehab has been our strategic partner from the very beginning. Thanks to their dedication, we’ve received Mountain Almendro saplings, which our volunteers have transported by boat to various locations throughout the Bocas del Toro Archipelago.
The Almendro tree is a keystone species, supporting a diverse range of wildlife. Over 16 mammal species, 19 bee species, and more than 100 bird species depend on it. Critically, it provides essential nesting sites for the endangered Great Green Macaw, which relies exclusively on the Almendro for reproduction. However, Almendro trees are at risk due to their prized, termite-resistant wood, which is often harvested for construction.
Our project also supports The Macaw Project, with a goal to reintroduce the Great Green Macaw back to Bocas del Toro by 2030.
