Gaviotos (Columbia) A Village to Reinvent the World
• The initial achievement of viable forest growth led to a massive tree-planting effort. During the three-month planting season, an imported American tractor-now fueled by raw palm oil, eliminating the need to import diesel fuel-pulls a Gaviotas-designed double-rowed planter. This machine makes it possible to transplant 30 nursery seedlings per minute, 24 hours every day except Sundays. Since the initial planting in the early 1980s, the forest has grown to 8,000 hectares.
• Besides generating resin products, the forest yielded a serendipitous bonus: systematically cooler temperatures over the forested land have caused a local increase in rainfall.
• Moreover, the increasingly rich biomass in the soil provides more effective filtering. Wells under the forest now yield drinking water of the highest purity, which is bottled along with tropical fruit juices in the sterile facilities of the converted hospital.
• Thus, the forest provides an enhanced supply of safe drinking water as well as additional sale products to support the village. With characteristic creativity, the Gaviotas team has designed plastic bottles for reuse as interlocking toys.
