Supporting Forest Restoration in Argentina with WeForest
We're all about rocking rainwear with a purpose! That's why we've teamed up with WeForest, the non-profit organization dedicated to cool the planet by restoring threatened tropical forests across the world.
Why WeForest?
After thorough research and consideration, we were captivated by the comprehensive approach and impactful initiatives offered by WeForest, aligning seamlessly with our mission to take climate action. That's why WeForest emerges as the clear choice for driving positive environmental change. Here's how WeForest is reshaping the reforestation landscape with four groundbreaking initiatives:

Taking Climate Action
poncho papi is proud to stand alongside WeForest in their mission to cool the planet by restoring threatened tropical forests worldwide. Among the myriad projects spearheaded by WeForest, our hearts were drawn to the captivating landscapes of Misiones, Argentina, where they're working with Fundación Vida Silvestre. This region not only hosts the largest remaining tract of Interior Atlantic Forest but also shelters a significant sub-population of jaguars and other endangered species.
Some insights on the project
Restoration and Protection - We're working with 49 smallholder farmers to restore farmland into forest patches, creating vital connections between protected areas like the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve, Piñalito and Cruce Caballero Provincial Parks.
Preserving Biodiversity - The project aims to safeguard the habitats of endangered species like jaguars and giant anteaters, ensuring their continued survival in the face of habitat loss.
Sustainable Livelihoods - By implementing agroforestry practices and providing improved water access, we're supporting farmers to cultivate yerba mate sustainably. This not only boosts their incomes but also reduces reliance on forest resources.
Creating a Sustainable Future - Our efforts not only restore forests but also promote sustainable land management practices, benefiting both local communities and the environment.
