ReMonte

Project overview

Argentina's Gran Chaco is losing forest faster than almost anywhere on Earth — 13 million hectares lost between 2001 and 2023, driven by unsustainable ranching. ReMonte breaks the cycle by working with the ranchers themselves.

The intervention is not just reforestation; it's a fundamental redesign of the production system. Adaptive rotational grazing transforms farm productivity while assisted natural regeneration brings back native forest on the remainder.

Two-part intervention

Regenerative grazing: technical expertise and financing to transition farms from continuous to adaptive rotational grazing. Increases forage productivity, boosts profitability and builds stable carbon in soil. Assisted natural regeneration: protected areas of remaining shrubland and forest are allowed to recover, captured as woody biomass and habitat for native fauna.

The result

A more productive ranching operation that coexists with — and benefits from — a recovering native ecosystem. Climate resilience, animal welfare, lower operational costs, better forage growth, plus carbon income.

Outcomes targeted

156,000 hectares restored within ~10 years. 12 million tonnes of CO₂ sequestered over 40 years. 14.1 million m³/yr of improved water infiltration. Habitat support for the more than 200 plant species, 23 mammals and 110 birds documented in the Chaco.
