Together with our community and our partner One Tree Planted, we are committed to tree planting campaigns around the world. In August, we are supporting a tree planting project in Panama. Read this blog to find out why these campaigns are so important and what you can do.
Panama (Spanish: Panamá) is a country in Central America that borders Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east. In August 2023, NIKIN literally put down roots here and gave wings to an important reforestation project. Our mission: to restore an area of land that has been affected by excessive livestock farming.

The path to reforestation
We are working with local communities to plant and manage mixed forests of native tree species and monitor them over the coming years. Through this project, we are not only creating jobs, but also improving the lives of the local community.

The power of community
Our efforts go far beyond restoring Panama's precious biodiversity. The Azuero Ecological Corridor Reforestation project has also forged a partnership with the Panamanian Prison Service: during their last year of incarceration, inmates are given the opportunity to engage in community service as part of the project. This initiative not only shines a bright light on the Sustainable Development Goals, but also creates a positive interaction between the environment and the community.
