Between March and April 2026, community members planted 512 new trees across three communities in the Gran Chaco (Territorios Originarios Wichi, Quebracho and Oka Puckie), supported by Go Forest clients and organized by our local technical partner, Alianza Wichi. The tree nursery work and planting were carried out by the communities themselves, with 36 people involved, 16 men and 20 women, across the different territories.

As part of the agroforestry project, species planted include white carob, white leadtree, curupay, mistol, urunday, samu'u, avocado, annatto, papaya, banana, citrus, and mango.

The approach, co-designed with the communities, rests on two pillars:

• Pillar 1: Reforesting protected community forests damaged by logging with native, high-value agroforestry species like carob, mistol and chañar, following indigenous forest enrichment practices. This recovers the forest's capacity to feed and sustain the communities who have always lived from it, allowing families to gather fruits and other resources in the way they have always done traditionally.
• Pillar 2: Planting multi-strata systems on defined plots, combining native and non-native species such as mango, avocado and citrus with vegetables and medicinal plants, addressing the malnutrition and health issues caused by forest loss.
