This Sunday, the Arborization Plan was launched in Caracas, which contemplated the establishment of 300 trees on Av. Boyacá (Cota Mil), in the Catuche sector in front of the Andrés Galarraga baseball field in the city of Caracas, as part of a plan focused on revitalizing and beautifying the urban environment. A strategic effort that seeks to address current environmental challenges and contribute to the well-being of the community.
The Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism (Minec), the Mayor’s Office of Caracas, Misión Arbol and the National Parks Institute (Inparques) participated in the activity. The action is included in the National Reforestation Plan, which aims to restore green areas and promote sustainability in the city.
The selected trees included ornamental, forest and fruit species, being placed at a distance of 6 meters between each one to ensure their optimal growth and the development of a healthy ecosystem. “We are starting today in Cota Mil, where we have approximately 20 linear kilometers. We started with the reforestation of the first kilometer with 300 medium and low-sized trees, so that they do not become a later problem,” said the Minister for Ecosocialism, Josué Lorca.
For her part, the mayor of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, highlighted that “it is necessary to replace the vegetation lost in the city, because many trees have fallen, as a result of the intense rains, and for each one of them we must plant it.”
“This project will begin in the heart of the capital and will progressively expand to the 23 parishes of Caracas, promoting community participation and environmental awareness among citizens,” he stated. Reforestation will not only improve the air quality and aesthetic beauty of the city, but will also provide recreational spaces and long-term ecological benefits.
