Environment ” Projects ” Windbreak Bolivia
Did you know that trees can be planted in specific locations to provide wind and sun protection? Since 2005, our partner Ketawe has set itself the goal of solving complex problems with innovative ideas.
By planting trees that act as windbreaks, Ketawe has created a windbreak system that enables farmers to achieve better yields with less land use, prevents aeolian erosion and reduces ecological, water and carbon footprints. Wildlife habitats are preserved and women’s independence is promoted through employment opportunities. The project improves soil quality and provides quality employment in rural areas. Together with farmers, a unique tree planting system was developed that combines wind protection and agriculture and thus contributes to the creation of habitats.
Bolivia is known for its impressive biodiversity in ecosystems such as the rainforest and the Andes. Bolivia is facing major challenges due to deforestation, mining and climate change. Between 2001 and 2021, Bolivia lost 3.35 million hectares of primary forest and 6.67 million hectares of tree cover, resulting in significant CO₂ emissions. Despite protected areas covering 22% of the country and providing habitat for endangered species such as jaguars and giant otters, biodiversity remains at risk from illegal hunting and other threats.
