From a seed to a tree, from a tree to a forest.

Giving back to Nature is the biggest kind of gratitude

Who are we


Aura Verde LDA is a company based since 2021 in Inhambane, Mozambique with the main focus of forestation. We are a small group of people who gave up the life in the city to start what we call a long life dream, a dream of planting indigenous trees and recreate forests. We closely work with the local communities by

sourcing seeds from different areas in Mozambique, give job opportunities to local residents by teaching and engaging with them to increase the understanding that planting creates live.


The main source of income and food of local communities in the region of Inhambane are coconuts and by-products of the coconut tree. Unfortunately since many years old coconut trees are dying and we noticed that there is a need for a push to teach and engage with locals and help them to plant new coconut trees in larger areas. We sensitize the community about the need of plantations , substituting old one with new ones ny bringing the knowledge of plantation, care and monitoring of the trees and show them different options how  they can use the coconut tree to reduce costs of their households and create an extra income for their families.

We cannot change yesterday, but we can change today for a better tomorrow


Nearly 4 million hectares of African forests are being cut down each year, at almost double the speed of the world’s deforestation average. We cannot Change that but for sure we can start a small change in Mozambique.

Our current projects:

 Cooperation with Saboeira de Inhambane to plant 15.000 Coconut trees by 2024

We work directly with the community: we buy the coconut seeds from the community and we employ 4 local woman’s to choose the best seeds and plant them. We plant the coconut seeds close to raining season so there is no need for irrigation or any extra water and we use the cycle of nature to help us grow trees.

After that we went to 5 neighborhoods in the are of Inhambane were we chose the most impacted area with coconuts problems (age of the coconuts, lack of replantation, sickness). After we had chosen the place we initiating to clean the place (cutting the sick or old coconut trees, using the old trees with no sickness to create work for wood workers and the ones which are sick get burned,) 

We challenge the community to prepare the place (cultivation), than we come with the compost from Saboeira de Inhambane and we plant the coconuts on raining season on a field that is already prepared to receive the tree (holes made , 4m distance between each other) and will monitor the coconut trees for the upcoming 5 years.

After the coconut starts giving coconuts, the local communities agreed, that for each tree we receive 16 coconuts per year for 3 years to start again with the circle of reforestation.

Furthermore, we already promise the local communities that either Saboeira de Inhambane will buy the coconut shells for further processing or Aura Verde will purchase them, to further boost its reforestation goals.

With the help of our local community we gain knowledge of the need for local tree forestation

Our goal is to help increase the awareness of climate change and the creation of a greener future.
