we are putting down new roots in Colombia
“With our expansion to South America, we are opening a new chapter in the company’s history,” says BaumInvest Chairwoman Antje Virkus.
“After a long and intensive analysis of ecological, legal and political framework conditions, we were able to make a well-considered and safe decision to take this important step for the further development of BaumInvest,” says Antje Virkus. With the expansion to Colombia, we are transferring our forestry concept, which has proven itself in Costa Rica, to another country for the first time, but adapting it to the local and climatic conditions by choosing native tree species there.
We have already been able to acquire a 1,500 hectare deforested area in the lowlands of the South American country. “The lowlands with their hot and humid climate offer ideal ecological conditions for the implementation of our forestry concept,” says BaumInvest CEO Antje Virkus. The new finca is located in the state of Vichada on the plain of the Orinoco River and enables the formation of an important biodiversity corridor to the Amazon rainforest through reforestation.
The subsidiary “BaumInvest Colombia” has already been founded, the first areas have been acquired – the preparations in Colombia are in full swing. “Reforestation in a near-natural mixed forest concept is particularly important for climate and species protection,” says Antje Virkus. “We look forward to expanding this impact to other countries.” This was made possible by the commitment of over 2,000 BaumInvest shareholders and our particularly successful ” carbon compensation through reforestation” business area.
In 2023, our first climate protection project in Colombia will grow in the mixed forest system. Soon we will be able to proudly present the first results. We look forward to another successful year and to breaking new ground.
