Almahue Forest

Almahue Forest Project is born of one man’s desire to combat climate change and bio-diversity loss.

Axel de Meeûs, Belgian, passionate about Patagonia since 1987, bought a 4300 Ha plot of land in Patagonia with a goal : be actively part of this worldwide challenge of restoring nature combating climate change.

Achieving this goal means implementing a 3 axis-strategy

1. Protect and regenerate the Patagonian cypress

2. Reintroduce native species

3. Plant mixed forests

Rewilding is an integral part of this strategy

To carry out our strategy, we have entered into a cooperation agreement with  the Argentinian Institute of Agricultural Technology, which will support us by providing quality information for better decision-making.
