It can happen so quickly – in the video you can see a beautiful before/after comparison approx. 6 months after planting at our new Canio Negro reforestation site in Costa Rica.

Our world revolves around trees.

With us, the forest makes the difference! Our forest is alive and provides habitat for people, fauna, and flora. Our story began in 2007.

As a pioneer, we started in Costa Rica to transform former depleted pastures into permanently existing mixed forests in a near-natural forestry concept with native tree species. Reforesting forests – that is our expertise. We have now been active in the reforestation of tropical forest landscapes for 16 years. And since the end of 2022, it has been clear: we are expanding and putting down new roots in Colombia.

The need for a sustainable economy concerns us all and presents us with major challenges. Building on our expertise and competencies, we are addressing those challenges. Within our reforestation-based businesses fields, we have developed innovative and natural solutions – generating added value at all levels.

BaumInvest combines economic aspects with ecological responsibility and social action – it is a meaningful investment in the future!

The NFCP Path – Our Passion Project

On our Finca La Virgen, we have built a forest experience and education trail that leads through both the afforestations within the scope of our Sustainable Forestry Business Area and the natural forest.

The NFCP trail (Natural Forest Conservation Program). This trail offers an immersive nature experience and educates about the functions of the forest ecosystem and the complexities of restoring forest landscapes.

The trees of the contributors to the NFCP (we like to call those sponsors ‘Natural Forest Conservers’) are scattered along this path. With the purchase of a Natural Forest Conserver certificate, existing natural forest is protected and an additional 7-10 new tropical trees are being planted.

Together we create new habitats, where countless species of animals and plants can reestablish themselves. Becoming a Natural Forest Conserver , planting trees, protecting species: It’s so easy – and yet so effective.

Biodiversity monitoring

Amphibians and reptiles are sensitive indicators of the health of an ecosystem and allow conclusions to be drawn about the general state of biodiversity. We have been measuring biodiversity since 2009 in cooperation with the well-known Senckenberg Institute in Frankfurt am Main.

The reptiles and amphibians are recorded via live traps. Every morning – without causing any harm – they are counted, measured, photographed and categorised and released again.

In a comparative study, the Senckenberg Institute can show that the biodiversity in our near-natural forests increases strongly compared to grasslands. Since 2020, we have also installed photo traps for biodiversity monitoring.

Cooperations

Our strategy was clear when BaumInvest AG was founded: successive, appropriate growth – and at all levels. It is particularly important for us to prove the added value we generate and to constantly develop further.

Therefore, we have built up cooperations through intensive networking that support us in exactly this – we as experts are surrounded by experts.
