The Guanguiltagua Metropolitan Park was filled with life and enthusiasm. Nearly 100 volunteers from Metropolitan Touring gathered from 8:00 am to participate in a new reforestation day.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Familiar and new faces joined together with a common purpose: to sow hope in the form of native trees.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The goal: 150 native trees and shrubs that would find their home in this green lung of the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Capul\u00ed, alder, pumamaqui, podocarpus, wax laurel, yalom\u00e1n, llinll\u00edn, chol\u00e1n, among others, were the species selected to strengthen the local ecosystem, continuing a work that began a decade ago.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ali, head of Human Resources at Metropolitan Touring, shared how the company has implemented sustainable practices, such as composting organic office waste, setting an example worth replicating.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The work at Metropolitan Park is not new to the Foundation. What began as small sprouts in 2014 today has transformed into a vibrant forest that purifies the city's air.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This growth is testimony to the steadfastness and shared commitment between the Foundation and companies like Metropolitan Touring, which has proven to be a loyal ally over the years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was inspiring to observe the active participation of volunteers of all ages. Children, youth and adults worked shoulder to shoulder, digging, planting and watering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The younger generations were particularly enthusiastic, showing a growing awareness of the importance of protecting our common home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The day was completed in record time thanks to the coordinated efforts of all participants. After the work was completed, the volunteers shared a well-deserved snack, amidst laughter and the satisfaction of having done their duty.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>cumplida, los voluntarios compartieron un merecido refrigerio, entre risas y la satisfacci\u00f3n del deber cumplido.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Foundation extends its most sincere thanks to each Metropolitan Touring volunteer for their invaluable contribution.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each tree planted represents one more step towards a sustainable future for Quito and its inhabitants.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
