The entity carries out all kinds of scientific, cultural and educational activities aimed at preserving the natural reserves and the species that inhabit them.
“You have to always plant responsibly. That is, planting by planting is not good. You have to know where and how plantations are maintained. That is what we advocate through the Let's Plant Life campaign, ”says the president of Bosques Sin Fronteras, Susana Domínguez Lerena. It is a program to increase forest masses through corporate social responsibility of companies and their objectives are to curb the effects of climate change, improve the environmental quality of the environment, increase CO2 uptake, regenerate deforested soils and protect The Biodiversity.
The president of Bosques Sin Fronteras has asked for the collaboration of all people to “transmit experiences”, from participation in social networks and outreach campaigns to sending information on problems or issues related to trees. “There are many projects that we develop, therefore, if you are interested in collaborating with our organization individually or are an organization or entity interested in developing or supporting projects for the protection and dissemination of forests and trees, get in touch with us ”, They emphasize from the association.
The entity carries out several initiatives, among which the project of cataloging, conservation and dissemination of the most unique trees in the Spanish territory Trees, Living Legends, which has been developed since 2002 and has a complete database that collects nearby of 4, 000 records of unique trees.
In addition, it has launched the Hug Your Trees program, a pioneering action in Europe that was born with the idea of designing and organizing trips of different duration through Spain and other countries with a common link: to know the longest, largest, historical and most important trees Beautiful of the world by experts in different disciplines related to nature. The president of Bosques Sin Fronteras has assured Positive News that the people who take part in the trips have returned “delighted and wanting to return, since they see large trees but also many other interesting things such as traditions, culture and ethnography”.
Regarding the care of people in the environment, Domínguez Lerena argues that society has evolved as they have been creating and forming pressure groups. “Years ago talking about trees was like 'weird people', even in the world of conservationism, because until recently trees were not important, animals, protected or extinction species were, now it seems that the trend It is changing although there is still much to do, ”he explains.
Along these lines, Bosques Sin Fronteras announces, on an annual basis, the Tree and Forest of the Year Awards aimed at meaning and value a series of trees and forests that, due to various characteristics, deserve recognition and social respect.
