Gran Chaco Restoration: El Juramento

Restoration

The El Juramento Project promotes the restoration of degraded ecosystems in Argentina’s Gran Chaco through reforestation with native species and assisted natural regeneration strategies. The project aims to restore approximately 3,000 hectares as part of a comprehensive model for ecological recovery and sustainable landscape management.

Implementation

The project contributes to carbon sequestration, biodiversity recovery, and the protection of the natural resources of the Chaco forest. The restoration strategy includes planting more than 4 million native trees, including White Carob, White Quebracho, Red Quebracho, and other key species adapted to the ecological conditions of the semi-arid Chaco.

Execution

Implementation activities began in 2025 with an initial area of 52 hectares, followed later that same year by the planting activities corresponding to the first year of execution. By May 2026, the project had reached 975 planted hectares, consolidating a key operational milestone for the initiative’s long-term development. The project is currently planning and preparing the operational and technical conditions required for the second planting phase.
