About BaumInvest
BaumInvest: Long proven, briefly explained
A lot has happened since BaumInvest was founded in 2007: We have developed from a small pioneer company to a renowned specialist for tropical near-natural mixed forest reforestation.
We are constantly expanding our sphere of action not only in Costa Rica on a tnational level, but since 2022 also on an international level in Colombia. Thus, we were able to add another country where our concept is applied with both socio-economic and ecological added values.
The site selection of our areas is carried out very carefully with the aim of creating biodiversity corridors. In this way, we create and expand valuable habitats in species-rich regions, from which animal species threatened with extinction benefit in particular: Soldier Macaws, Tapirs and Jaguars are regularly sighted.

FORESTS ARE THE CENTER OF OUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS
The Vision
We strive to expand our model of sustainable and nature-based reforestation into a larger, even more effective initiative that engages more people and is transferable to other regions.
Our concept behind it: Secure private values and at the same time create a positive future for the climate, nature and people.
The Mission
We want to enable both current and future generations to have a future worth living in harmony with nature. Therefore, our highest goal is to contribute to climate protection. We can achieve this by putting our heart and soul into continuously expanding and preservating close-to-nature reforestation sites and natural forest areas.
Our trees do a great job: they bind climate-damaging carbon dioxide. In addition, we actively produce timber products from sustainable production and are constantly developing and disseminating our innovative forestry concept globally.
The strategy
At the core of our strategy is continuous growth. The strategy behind it: Secure and maintain our forestry forests until the value timber harvest in 2032; expand and extend our CO2 forests through market penetration with our attractive CO2 product portfolio.
