Árbol del Padre, a massive macondo tree in Colombia, served as a vital gathering place for wildlife and a meaningful landmark for researchers and visitors, even continuing to support life after being struck by lightning. After it finally fell, the tree’s decomposition nourished the forest, symbolizing the ongoing cycle of renewal and the emergence of a new generation of trees.

For months, 12 dedicated women from Colosó lovingly planted and cared for more than 12,000 seedlings in their own homes. And now, as many of these young saplings have grown taller than 30 cm, the most anticipated moment has arrived: returning them to the land where they will grow into forest.

At Proyecto Tití, recycling isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we do every single day.

Restoring forests is not just about planting trees—it’s about understanding how nature has perfected the process over millions of years. By studying how seeds germinate and grow in the wild, our team can replicate those strategies in our nursery to help new forests take root.

When we visit local communities to implement our education programs, we always reinforce one powerful idea: everyone — children, teens, and adults — can do something to help cotton-top tamarins and become Forest Guardians. And the most beautiful part is that this isn’t just a message… it’s real.
