Hands in the Soil, Hearts in the Mission

By Mauricio Arhuire | Visitor, Volunteer and Research Coordinator

Christmas 2024 in CV Baltimori

Dear Friends of Camino Verde,

2025 has been a crazy year so far for many of us, and Camino Verde is no exception. As you read in our last Missive, like many non-profits, we have been working hard to stay resilient in uncertain waters.

While far from being out of the storm, so far we have managed to not just stay afloat, but keep sailing strongly, to further our vision of a resilient, biodiverse Amazonian biome and Planet Earth. With a mission that is more relevant than ever to our times, it is thanks to the people who belive in our mission that we are able to continue to grow our impact month after month, year after year.

It is no exageration to say that thanks to you, dear readers, supporters, volunteers, contributors, friends, Camino Verde is the organization it is today, a leader tackling the myriad ramifications of deforestation and biodiversity loss via constructive, life-honoring, regenerative activities.

If something you read here inspires you, we invite you to support our journey during GlobalGiving’s July Bonus Day, happening next Wednesday, July 16th.

On this special day, donations of $100 to $1,000 will be matched from a bonus fund — making your contribution go even further. It’s a powerful opportunity to amplify your impact and help us continue making waves. Donate here on July 16th!

In gratitude,

Robin Van Loon
Founder and Executive Director

What's Inside

This quarter’s Missive features the reflections of Mauricio Arhuire, CV’s coordinator for visitors, volunteers, and research. Since we’re busy with Amazonian reforestation and beekeeping, many people don’t realize that offering immersive learning experiences to visitors, volunteers, interns, and researchers is also an integral part of what we do. It’s an increasingly important income stream for the organization – and sharing what we know is part of a replicable model for transformation.

Making the tropical rainforest feel like home to people from all over the globe is part of a strategy that furthers our mission – and has been Mauricio’s specialty over his 3 years with the Camino Verde team.

Read on below about the evolution of our volunteer offerings – and, hopefully, get inspired to join us! Our door is open to visits long and short, to artists in residence and biologists, to class groups and passionate interns, who share the belief that we can do something positive for Mother Earth. Come to learn; come to sweat; come to grow. Be a part of the change we all want to see.

Connect with us to volunteer today at www.caminoverde.org/volunteer.

In Memoriam

We’d like to share a moment of silence to remember don Froilan Rodriguez (1950-2025), long time CV team member who died from pancreatic cancer suddenly last month. “Paisita” was a brilliant beacon of a person, a master of the rainforest who taught us more than we can measure over his years of service at Camino Verde Baltimori. All those who had the pleasure to share a conversation –or a jungle night walk– with Froilan know about his deep ecological knowledge and generous sense of humor. He is greatly missed. We are grateful to see his legacy at Camino Verde continue, along with his son Roger and daughter-in-law Wendy, who continue as key members of the CV Baltimori team.

3 Years of Encounters with Amazonian Regeneration

by Mauricio Arhuire, Visitor, Volunteer and Research Coordinator, Camino Verde Baltimori

Pathways of Transformation

Three years of team effort, shared learning and growth.

In my time with Camino Verde as the visitor, volunteer, and research coordinator, I have witnessed transformations of various kinds. Transformations of wastelands into forests. Transformations of vision and perspective, in people from all corners of the globe. Including, no doubt, some transformations in myself.

I have actively participated in the evolution of our program, from its modest beginnings, based on word of mouth, to a solid, multifaceted initiative as richly diverse as the forest that hosts us.

At Camino Verde we share what we do, in gratitude to the Earth and her diverse children. With the intention of igniting sparks of inspiration, we share tangible solutions to forest degradation as well as ancestral knowledge, with those with minds and hearts open to learning. Now more than ever, in a more targeted and intentional way than ever before, our doors are open to receive – and to spread.

2024 end of year team gathering at Camino Verde Baltimori. Mauricio is seen crouching, bottom right.

My Beginning

In January 2022 I arrived at the Camino Verde Reforestation Center in Baltimori, in the middle of the summer, not knowing then that the drought was something of an anomaly, as much as my presence here at the time.

The visitor program existed, and the objective of my arrival was to help make it fluid, structured, dynamic and –why not– charismatic as well, since beyond what can be built, there are intangible things that one carries inside.

Back then, when you arrived at the center, you could feel a lot of work going on around you and it was clear that the space was inhabited, but it didn't quite convey the full sense of vitality that lay in waiting. As is well known, the real complexity is in the details.

For me, first it was essential to get to know the place and its people better, in order to offer a clean, orderly space, close contact and clear communication, which would transmit warm attention and great respect to all those who visit us.

This implied working on spaces, systems, protocols, inventories and, importantly, on projections for the future, so that the systems would be maintained. Perhaps the most difficult of all was to generate a culture that would sustain the systems. Without a culture of maintenance and care, any effort, no matter how strong, would be quickly lost. With it, on the other hand, the initial effort is multiplied and lasts.

A Common Cause

The way forward began with learning from the team, especially from the wisdom of the years of Froilán and Juan, to grow together, as the talents of individuals were highlighted through our various projects and challenges. In this sense, the collaboration of the production coordinator Alejandro and Robin as director marked an important way forward, to be able to carry out substantial changes by working together.

Considering that the Amazon is a place where nature constantly claims its own, it was necessary to be persistent and find a delicate balance. Little by little, the space began to react and come to life, especially for me.At the same time, something else was happening: Baltimori is a place where people stay for relatively long periods of time, which generates special dynamics. Over time, foreign faces like mine become familiar, and the spaces are saturated with the unique energy that each visitor brings with them, along with their suitcase of stories to share, at a table open to hear about new worlds and realities. The days here are a constant apprenticeship with the forest, with its visitors and these stories. In this process friendship undoubtedly emerges in a casual and spontaneous way.Perhaps these appealing coincidences are what attract every visitor to the heart of the Amazon. And considering the low probabilities of finding each other elsewhere in the world, every encounter here is a small miracle.

Tangible Evolutions

The first volunteer I ever received should know that many things have changed: there is now a guard house for the boats; the boats have been renovated; the chickens no longer enter the kitchen, as they have their own area; the kitchen sink is ceramic and no longer has mildew growing on it; the bathrooms have better sinks; there are two new cabins for visitors; the carpentry shop has moved to a new space; we have a refrigerator! and a showcase displaying Camino Verde’s line of products (Moena Botanicals) and surely many more changes, all without losing the essence of what this center is and represents.

Our program continues to expand, seeking strategic alliances that will allow us to reach more people and make known this unique experience of visiting Camino Verde and being an active part of the Amazon regeneration.Today we receive a diversity of visitors: from individual volunteers who stay for a week, to university interns and thesis students who stay for 3 months or more. Our spaces receive both independent researchers and teams from institutions and companies, dedicated to innovative studies on Amazon ecology and restoration, carbon sequestration and tropical agriculture. Since 2021, we have also welcomed artists in residence, individually or in groups, who find in this natural environment an unparalleled refuge of inspiration for weeks or months at a time.Our work is no longer limited to the pioneering Baltimori center. Today we are extending this network of transformation to our other sites such as La Joya and Loreto. Some come to get their hands dirty, planting a couple of trees. Others come as explorers, eager to get to know the green cathedral of the Amazon rainforest. There are those who seek to harvest knowledge and wisdom from the forest and its guardians, and others who come with the intention of contributing to the valuable work of regeneration. However brief their visits may be, I am convinced that they all leave transformed.

Communities with Purpose

Our programs represent a unique experience because they mean getting to know and being part of the regeneration of the Amazon, taking into account ecological, social and economic aspects. Our Amazon restoration work is realized via the strengthening of forests, providing livelihoods through agroforestry systems, with a great diversity of native and endangered species that are key to the Amazon. In the process, you connect with not just a simple project, but a multifaceted program that works at the intersection of biodiversity, regenerative economies, indigenous knowledge and Amazonian communities. And most importantly, backed with a wonderful team dedicated to our mission that day in and day out works for Amazon regeneration. We are excited about what we do and do not hesitate to share the details with every participant.Today, June 2025, after more than 3 years since that "little summer," I thank every visitor. Every tree planted by you represents a lesson and a gift. Camino Verde will continue to grow, resonating in the lives of all those who in different ways were, are and will be part of this project. Hear the call to return, continue or come, and here we will always be with open arms and great expectations, next to the Tambopata River.

Come and be part of this community! We –and the forest itself– await you.

From Pasture to Forest

BEFORE (2017)

AFTER 2025

For the past eight years, I have been part of Camino Verde La Joya, a reforestation center dedicated to the production of native plant species in its tree nursery, with the primary objective of restoring areas that have been degraded by cattle ranching and agriculture. My work initially focused on the propagation of forestry seedlings and later on their transfer to the field.

Throughout these years, together with my fellow “Joyinos”, we have installed a growing number of agroforestry plots at the Camino Verde La Joya center. We designed and installed planting systems for terra firma areas, steep slopes, as well as lowland areas, where previously there were only grasslands with a few scattered guava (Psidium guajava) saplings struggling to grow.

I remember that, to install the first species, we had to open alleys through the Brachiaria grass, in very compacted, poor soil that had previously been used (and abused) for raising cattle. We planted hundreds of trees of different species, including medicinal, timber, fruit, and palm trees, among others. However, when the dry season came, with its intensely sunny days, many of these plants began to wither. The few that survived struggled to develop, which was not surprising given that the soil had a sandy texture with little or no organic matter.

With the arrival of the new rainy season, we continued both planting and replanting. This time, with the experience gained, we decided to plant fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing temporary trees from the Fabaceae family, such as species of the genus Inga and Flemingia. The objective was to generate shade to protect the small seedlings of other species, while at the same time producing mulch material through constant pruning to cover the soil, maintain humidity, and, over time, improve soil quality by incorporating organic matter.

Over the years, La Joya has been transformed. These soils, which once supported only grasses, have evolved into a more complex ecosystem, with trees of different species interacting with each other and forming diversified plant layers. This transformation has attracted more animals, and today, many of the species we planted are already producing fruits that serve as food for both wildlife and people. In addition, the seeds of these species allow us to continue producing more seedlings to further reforestation.

The presence of birds, monkeys, squirrels, armadillos, bees, butterflies, and other species has increased significantly. The recovery of the vegetation has created a suitable habitat for these animals, which now find in this forest a safe haven and a constant source of food.

Throughout this time, we have expanded our restoration efforts beyond just planting, incorporating the protection and promotion of pollinator biodiversity in the form of native bees. We started with a single box of Melipona eburnea, a stingless bee species, with the support and guidance of neighbor and specialist David Durán, who taught us the techniques for raising and managing these curious bees.

Little by little, we have successfully increased the number of hives through divisions and introduced new species of the Melipona genus, such as M. seminigra. Currently, we have 11 hives of M. eburnea, two hives of M. seminigra, and now also a two-story box with the classic Apis honey bees, which we were lucky enough to find on a tree branch near the nursery and successfully transfer to a box. In addition, we have wild Apis and Melipona nests in the forest understory and have even located ground-dwelling bees from the genus Geotrigona. Each time we stop to observe them, we see them returning to their hives laden with pollen.

Thanks to these native bees, we have increased pollination in the restored areas and made our agroforestry systems more resilient, thus ensuring forest regeneration.

At the end of 2024, our assistant coordinator Abraham and I conducted an in-depth inventory of all the species established in the center’s plots. Although we have yet to record the species planted along the internal paths and around the nursery's perimeter – and excluding species that were always present in our remnant forest islands and in the understory – we identified an impressive total of over 200 different species of trees that we have planted to date.

These include timber trees such as lupuna, quinilla, shihuahuaco, azúcar huayo, ishpingo, quillobordón, pumaquiro, and castaña, among others.

We also registered fruit tree species such as moquete de tigre, pama, uvilla, shimbillo, ciruelo, marañón silvestre, lúcuma, marañón, huasai, and pijuayo.

Additionally, we included medicinal plants such as qori sacha, chiric sanango, huito, sangre de grado, copaiba, ajo sacha, clavo huasca, piñón, arco sacha, and cotton, among others. Finally, we recorded ornamentals such as clavija, croton, and palo bandera.

A living seed bank, indeed.

This inventory not only demonstrates the wide variety of plants and animals we have helped to establish as part of Camino Verde’s Living Seed Bank program, but also allows us to track our progress and ensure that the ecosystem continues to improve in diversity. As plants grow and animals return, this record helps us understand how the forest is changing, identify areas to continue enriching with more species, and plan future activities.

Reforestation, restoration, regeneration – even if these are ecological processes, they couldn’t occur without human action. Which is why, starting in 2023, La Joya is acting more than ever as an educational center, sharing the tools and knowledge we’ve gained over the years of restoration in action. Our internship program focuses on training local women in basic tree nursery management as well as planting and maintenance of reforestation areas. Thanks to support from the Open University (UK) and the Old Dart Foundation, so far we’ve held over 15 months of paid internships for women from the region who are eager to learn these important skills and put them into practice in their own farms and gardens.

Not everything has been easy in this process. As our tree seedlings were busy turning into a forest, the area around Camino Verde La Joya has gone from a sleepy rural area of overgrown cattle pastures to the city’s fastest growing sector, a bustling young neighborhood on the outskirts of Puerto Maldonado. The urban expansion has placed intense new pressure on wildlife in the area, and as such our center’s forest fragment acts more and more as a refuge for animals, plants, and fungi that are losing habitat all around us.

Throughout these years we have faced some significant challenges, such as fires set by neighbors, affecting some of our plantations and once even damaging the nursery structure. We have also dealt with attempted squatters’ invasions into the reforested areas, and long hot dry seasons that resulted in the loss of many important species. However, we have managed to overcome these obstacles by installing living fences of limoncillo trees (Swinglea sp.) along our borders and planting more trees of species that are better adapted to fire and dry conditions. In this way, we continue to protect the forest that we are recovering from these diverse threats.

Being part of this project has allowed me to witness how severely degraded land can indeed become a forest. I have learned reforestation techniques, soil management, and biodiversity conservation, as well as how to overcome obstacles, fostering creativity and resilience. I am proud to work with colleagues who share the same vision and to have played a role in this transformation, leaving a meaningful footprint for the future.

2024 in Review: Milestones and Highlights

Dive in with this year’s most important news, divided by each of our centers and programs.

Top Level Highlights

In 2024, Camino Verde expanded its visibility and strengthened its networks of support, both at home in the Peruvian Amazon and abroad. Here are some of the year’s standout moments:

Expo Amazónica: In September, Camino Verde joined the largest expo event in the Peruvian Amazon, held just outside of Puerto Maldonado in Madre de Dios. Our stall showcased our work to a broad audience while introducing the public to our Moena Botanicals line of reforestation-sourced products.
Seed Fair 2024: An annual favorite, the October Seed Exchange Fair saw Camino Verde rolling out its high-biodiversity table to connect with farmers, native communities, and beekeepers. Co-hosted by our allies and sponsored by nonprofits including CV, this event is the only one of its kind, a vital opportunity to strengthen ties in the region.
Important New Partnerships: In 2024, Camino Verde began key strategic partnerships with two important global groups: Conservation International and Whole Planet Foundation. These two new allies are helping bring our Rosewood Farmer Livelihood Program to new families and native communities.
The Amazonian Pharmacy of Don Ignacio Duri: This year marked the publication of the first book to carry the Camino Verde logo! Sharing the life stories and knowledge of one of the Amazon’s great traditional healers, this book is a tribute to Don Ignacio Duri’s legacy. Get your copy here.
One Year Ago: Our 15th Anniversary Celebration in Massachusetts in November 2023 was a milestone event, setting a record as the single largest fundraising day in Camino Verde’s history. Thanks to all who attended and contributed!
Moena Botanicals: Chocolate lovers, rejoice! This year, our rainforest product line grew to include our very own chocolate, sourced from our reforestation areas. These join our essential oils, soaps, and more in the Moena Botanicals lineup. (Visit our web store today! – And please note that, sadly, our chocolates are not yet available outside of Peru.)
Georgetown University Collaboration: We’re thrilled to partner with a consultation group from Georgetown University this year to enhance our data management systems. This collaboration will help us better measure and demonstrate our impact—stay tuned for the results!

CV team and volunteers at the Seed Exchange Fair 2024

Camino Verde Baltimori

This year brought significant growth for our original reforestation center and Living Seed Bank in Tambopata, Peru. Our largest center, this is where our very first trees were planted in 2006. Today, it’s home to over 400 tree species and remains the heart of our work.

Tree Planting Achievements: Partnering with Belgian company Go Forest, we set and reached ambitious tree planting goals, focusing on endangered and vulnerable native species. Our Living Seed Bank continues to thrive across 30 hectares (75 acres) of reforestation areas, also known as agroforestry systems.
Expanding Propagation Efforts: Our tree nursery produced seedlings for nearly 100 tree species this year, while our vegetable gardens expanded to preserve unique Amazonian crops.
Welcoming More Visitors Than Ever: 2024 was our busiest year for visitors, with high-volume events and a steady stream of volunteers, interns, researchers, and artists in residence. Among these were the team from Mater Iniciativa, collaborators with the world’s #1 restaurant, exploring exciting opportunities in gastronomic biodiversity. (And if this inspires you to start planning your own visit, you can do so here.)
Growing Fauna: Our jungle chicken and creole duck flocks grew significantly, providing ethical, home-grown protein for our team and visitors. Meanwhile, our meliponario expanded to over 20 hives with a dozen native stingless bee species (called meliponas), producing medicinal honey and benefiting forest health.
Macaw Research Comes Alive: This year marked our participation in a collaborative macaw research project with Rainforest Expeditions and Wired Amazon. We installed two cutting-edge artificial macaw nests in tree canopies to address habitat loss, with up to eight more planned for 2025.

Camino Verde La Joya

Established in 2016 near Puerto Maldonado, CV La Joya serves as our satellite reforestation center and primary tree nursery, producing over 100 native tree species annually. In 2024, the center hosted groundbreaking workshops, battled fires, and achieved key milestones.

Tree Planting: Thanks to our partners at zero CO2 and Tree Nation, we completed planting all available areas at La Joya. Now fully reforested, the site serves as a pilot farm for native species-based agroforestry, accessible to farmers and visitors from Puerto Maldonado, Peru’s "Biodiversity Capital."
Nursery Basics Workshop: Our first workshop brought together 70 participants from across Madre de Dios to learn the essentials of small-scale tree nursery setup. With hands-on training featuring the 110 species propagated at La Joya this year, the event was a big success. Thanks to Open University and the Old Dart Foundation for making this possible!
Fire Response: Fire is becoming an unfortunate new normal in the Amazon. During the dry season, our team worked tirelessly to stop a neighbor’s uncontrolled burn from reaching our reforestation parcels. Thanks to their efforts, damage was limited to superficial areas, and our trees continue to thrive.
Infrastructure Improvements: To bolster fire preparedness, we expanded our water supply system and conducted team fire-response exercises, ensuring we’re ready to protect our reforestation efforts.
Melipona Bees: La Joya is now home to 9 hives of native melipona bees and 1 hive of honeybees. Our growing meliponario reflects the increasing role of melipona beekeeping in our programs, benefiting farmers and forest ecosystems alike.
New Trails: In 2024, trail systems at La Joya and Baltimori expanded by over 50%, improving access to towering old-growth seed-bearing trees essential for our nursery supply chains.

Camino Verde Loreto

Since 2013, CV has partnered with indigenous communities in Peru’s largest region to build diverse agroforestry systems and regenerative supply chains for endangered species. 2024 was a year of growth and impact:

Reaching New Communities: Thanks to partners like Conservation International, Whole Planet Foundation, Pacha Soap, zero CO2, and New England Biolabs Foundation, we expanded our Rosewood Farmer Livelihood Program to 3 new native communities and 11 additional families. This growth wouldn’t have been possible without key allies One Planet and Amazon Ecology.
First Ever Community Tree Nursery: This year, we established our first community-run tree nursery, located in and managed by one of the native communities we collaborate with. The nursery will serve as a hub for training and seedling distribution, benefiting 5 neighboring native communities along the same river.
CV Consultations in Action: The Loreto team undertook major consultation projects in Yaguas National Park and Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Key activities included identifying endangered rosewood seed trees and introducing melipona beekeeping to two new river basins, advancing sustainable practices and sharing our strategies across the region.
Rosewood Productive Cycle Farmer Field School: This year’s farmer field school brought together women from the Bora, Huitoto, Maijuna, and Ocaina communities participating in the Rosewood Farmer Livelihood Program. Attendees experienced every stage of the rosewood lifecycle—from seed sprouting in nurseries to essential oil distillation at our production plant.
Educational Materials: In 2024, we developed new resources for our programs. These include a soon-to-be-released mini-documentary highlighting the communities involved in our Rosewood Farmer Livelihood Program and an updated, illustrated manual on melipona beekeeping designed for families in our partner communities.
Melipona Expansion: With 36 additional melipona nests established this year, our indigenous partners are expanding their capacity to produce medicinal honey. This sustainable, non-timber forest product enhances household income and community health.
