Argentina spans 3,700 km from north to south and 1,400 km from east to west. **At the centre of the country are the vast lowland plains of the Pampas**, surrounded by the subtropical Gran Chaco region to the north, the Patagonian plateau to the south and the majestic peaks of the Andes to the west. This great diversity of habitats is reflected in the rich variety of wildlife, ranging from the caiman (or yacaré) to the famous Andean condor. Treedom's adventure in Argentina took place in the** forests of the Gran Chaco**. The natural resources of this region have been severely damaged by deforestation and Treedom has contributed to their recovery by planting beneficial trees for the local population, such as the algarrobo (or carob) tree.

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The white carob is native to central Argentina and belongs to the Fabaceae family. Its name derives from the Spanish conquerors who mistakenly took this tree for the European algarrobo, which also produces edible pods. It's planted for its flat pods used to produce a flour to bake bread and sweets.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 500 kg
2012
0 kg
2022
-500 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities
My benefits
0%
Food Security
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
0%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
0%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
0%
Environmental protection
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
