Trees contribute to mitigating solar radiation, as well as releasing water vapor, which absorbs heat and rises into the upper layers of the atmosphere.

On the Trust plots of the Ananda Center for Human Development, two ecosystems will coexist: the first, natural/forest, and the second, anthropogenic/cultivated. Both should be in dynamic, tolerant, biological compatibility thanks to specially designed, timely, and quality interventions.

The care of forest trees involves a series of activities that will contribute to the quality and vitality of the trees through:

• Visual inspection of each tree to determine its vitality status
• In key areas, once a year, inspecting all trees to monitor changes due to abiotic and biotic factors, visible on the trunk, crown, and assimilation apparatus (leaves/needles), and based on them, determining guidelines (current/short-term/long-term) for their care
• Implementation of preventive-curative measures for tree care to protect them from plant diseases and harmful insects, primarily using biological methods, thus not disturbing the dynamic relationships in the biotope
• Removal of trees for the preservation of ecological and other biotic reasons
• Integrating forest seedlings into agricultural areas using agroforestry methodology
