The conference is part of the actions that the Biodiversity Foundation carries out in
forestry matters.

The director of the Biodiversity Foundation, Ana Leiva, attended on Sunday, November 21, the Toyota Reforestation Day 2010, in Alcalá de Henares.

This conference, which has taken place simultaneously throughout the Spanish territory, has proposed, for example,
For the third year in a row, a family autumn, an exceptional opportunity to strengthen the bond between citizens and their natural environment. The project was born from the conviction that each individual action has an impact on the environment.

For this occasion, certified native Quercus seeds have been used, adapted to their corresponding climatic range. In this sense, oak (Quercus robur) has been planted in the Cantabrian strip, holm oak (Quercus ilex) on the plateau and cork oak (Quercus suber) in the south.

In the 2009 edition, which had the participation of more than 10,000 volunteers, it was possible to plant 160,000 acorns of the genus Quercus and more than 10,000 seedlings in 61 plots of land distributed throughout Spain.

Educating and raising awareness about the value of natural heritage, as well as contributing to the regeneration of the original forests of each region are the objectives of this initiative, which has the collaboration and support of various NGOs dedicated to the protection of natural resources, including the Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente Foundation.

The Biodiversity Foundation participates, therefore, in the dissemination of this symbolic gesture of commitment to the conservation of forest ecosystems. This is an action framed in the actions that the Biodiversity Foundation carries out in forestry matters. The support, for this particular cause of Toyota Reforestation Day, has been reflected in the management and location of trees and land, as well as in the selection of seeds, according to the characteristics of each land.

In this way, in addition to carrying out awareness-raising work, it is intended to consolidate and recover the potential of the soil, biodiversity and native ecosystems, and the landscape. Likewise, the capture of CO2 is promoted, to contribute to the fight against climate change.
