Julio Andrés Rozo

In an interview led by David Forson, COO of Regen Network, Julio and Karolina from Amazonia discussed their ecological restoration efforts in Colombia's Kaketa region. They emphasize the importance of planting native tree species with genetic diversity, stating, "it's not just planting a tree but a native tree." Community engagement is crucial, as they aim to reconnect locals with the forest, providing income opportunities through seed harvesting. Key challenges include technology use and climate change effects. Action items include fostering partnerships for technological support and enhancing community training initiatives. Recommend exploring collaboration opportunities for expanded restoration impact.
