We had a beautiful day of reforestation on Saturday, December 18 2021, we shared the vibrancy of life together, giving back to Mother Nature a part of what she gives us every day. We reforested 500 palo santo trees.

We have signed a linkage agreement with the Technical University of Manabí that will allow 20 students of the Agronomy career to participate in the construction of a new nursery where new Palo Santo plants will germinate.

We planted the amount of 200 native trees of the dry forests, including 50 palo santo trees. In a day full of great enthusiasm in which volunteers from other places also joined who had the same desire to make a small change in the world and give back to a little piece of land, the abundance of its trees.

Santa Marianita beach in Manta - Ecuador, is the point where Ecoplayas focuses its energy to carry out an environmental education program, with the slogan #LlevateTuBasura where citizens are urged to be aware of taking their waste and not leaving it in the Beaches.

Each of our little trees results from a lot of work, from the collection of the seeds, the drying, then the germination, and their care for three years. Only there are already some little trees strong enough to be transplanted and survive.

Climate change is now, therefore, part of our social responsibility in Ecuadorianhands. We have an education project called Ecoplayas, for more than 10 years creating awareness in cleaning beaches in Manta Ecuador.

We are developing a new Program for the "Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Natural Heritage" of Palo Santo, where we will have the participation of GIZ (German Cooperation), UTM (Technical University of Manabí) and Ecuadoriahands.

More than a decade ago, at the EcuadorianHands company, we began with the first empirical investigations regarding the properties and history of the Palo Santo tree (Bursera graveolens)

EcuadorianHands is a company that works in a sustainable and responsible way with the environment. We have been developing a program of constant reforestation and monitoring of our forests.

Only palo santo that have died naturally should be pick up. Having at least 2-4 years at rest after his death to take advantage of their properties.

Dry forest, one of the most threatened ecosystems due to the ease of change associated with human activities. This ecosystem is home to a large number of species whose populations have suffered some kind of modification as a result of traditional unsustainable extraction practices.
