Project Update: October 2007

During the last year we celebrated our 10th Anniversary as a project giving over 20 conferences about the importance of forests, and by planting over 10.000 seedlings of native tree species with the help of around 120 volunteers and lots of hard work. Our team prepared a five day restoration ecology workshop which was a nice success as we repeated the workshop twice (in Cochabamba, Bolivia and in Córdoba, Argentina) and are planning a third edition for nov 12-15. This workshop helped in training 35 volunteers and other conservation leaders to start similar scientifically based projects. Most of our volunteers are local, but as usual, we welcome volunteers from around the world, please contact us at voluntariados@ecosistemasarg.org.ar
