About the Tinto Amor project

Tinto Amor is a groundbreaking reforestation project based in Campeche, Mexico, aimed at addressing both global climate challenges and local socio-economic issues. We restore forests, provide alternative income streams, and contribute to climate solutions by:
- Extracting Haematoxylin: Used in Medicine and Pharma Industry
- Generating Biomass: Used in eco-innovation and renewable energy
- Creating Tradable CO2 Certificates: Supporting sustainability efforts
The project creates opportunities for eco-innovation, homeopathic agriculture, and sustainable economic development. It tackles local social inequality, ecological degradation, and economic dependency, all while contributing to the global fight against climate change.

Our Commitment
to Nature and People

At Tinto Amor, we prioritize working in harmony with the local ecosystem, using at best renewable energy sources. Our commitment extends beyond the environment to the community, where we provide fair and equal job opportunities to local workers. More than 2,000 families benefit directly from this project, making a lasting impact for future generations.

What We Do?

Our mission is to conserve biodiversity and restore the forest.

With a focus on sustainability, we aim to:

- Reforest lost areas and preserve existing forests.
- Create income streams to sustain the project for generations.
- Work with experts to ensure the most effective reforestation strategies.

How we work

Cultivation

We plant 150,000 Tinto trees on 125 hectares each year, for 8 years, leading to 1,200,000 trees across 1,000 hectares. This commercial reforestation supports the project financially while preserving the remaining forest.

Reforestation

Starting in year 9, we begin harvesting and replanting, with trees reaching heights of 8-12 meters and a diameter of 16 cm.

Harvest & Processing

We process Haematoxylin (60% of sales), sell biomass for renewable energy (30% of sales), and trade CO2 certificates (10% of sales).

Ecological Impact

Each hectare filters 45 tons of CO2 per year. We use biochar from tree branches to enrich the soil and store CO2 long-term.

Our Location

The Palizada area, with its hot, humid climate and fertile soil, is the ideal environment for growing Tinto trees. Located in rural Campeche, Mexico, this region is a safe haven despite the country's challenges.
