Futuro Forestal S.A. is a German-Panamanian reforestation company that operates in Latin America. Established in 1994 in Panama, it is headquartered in Panama City. Futuro Forestal focuses on impact investment management in the tropical forestry industry. [1] To date, the company has planted over 8,000 hectares of teak and mixed hardwood plantations on deforested pastureland, [2] often under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standard. [3]
Futuro Forestal was founded in 1994 by Andreas Eke and Iliana Armién. Since that time, the company developed from a small retail investment to a timber investment management organization to an impact forestry company with up to 2,500 employees. [4] [5]
Futuro Forestal provides sustainable reforestation services including timber investment management, ecosystem restoration, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project execution, and social services like education for rural communities.
Futuro Forestal develops plantations that incorporate native hardwood species suited to specific soil conditions to foster diverse habitats for wildlife while allocating significatnt land areas to environmental protection. Furthermore, the company has been the first to sell carbon credits from reforestation as a business in Panamá" (Montagnini 2005, p. 181).
Ecosystem restoration is the return of a damaged ecological system to a stable, healthy, and sustainable state. Futuro Forestal was awarded an important mitigation project for Minera Panama. [16] The 7,000+ hectare project aims to:
In view of CSR projects is solely the sustainability of reforestation's social and environmental impact.
Together with Nicaraguan Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, Futuro Forestal started environmental education in forest-dependent communities. Children are educated in primary schools and adults get theoretical knowledge about agroforestry, like sheep-farming with Pelibüeys and beekeeping. Practical development is generated through microcredits for sheep and beehives. [17]
In 2001 Futuro Forestal, the Native Species Reforestation Project of the Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies & the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute conducted a native species project in Panama. Through this, the partners researched native species silvicultural [18] and practical application of forest management techniques. [19]
