Introduction: Turning Every Ride into Climate Action
At Buenos Aires Transfers, we believe that travel is more than just movement — it’s an opportunity to make a positive impact. That’s why we launched our green initiative: “One Ride. One Tree.” With every private ride booked through us in Buenos Aires, a native tree is planted in Corrientes, Argentina. It’s not a gimmick. It’s a real tree, in real soil, planted to make a measurable environmental difference.
In a world where the environmental cost of tourism often goes unnoticed, we’re taking a stand. This isn’t about offsetting guilt — it’s about investing in the planet. Whether you’re heading to Ezeiza Airport or exploring the city’s hidden corners, your ride can be part of a larger story of regeneration.
This article dives into why trees matter, how we do what we do, and how your simple choice of transport contributes to reforestation, biodiversity, and sustainability — all without any extra cost to you.
The Urgency of Reforesting Argentina
Argentina is home to incredible biodiversity — from the rainforests of Misiones to the wetlands of Corrientes and the Patagonian steppe. But it’s also a country grappling with rapid deforestation, with native forests disappearing at alarming rates due to agriculture, cattle ranching, and urban expansion.
Trees are more than just carbon filters. They anchor ecosystems. They support wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and maintain water cycles. Every tree cut down without replacement represents a loss of habitat, resilience, and life.
Our initiative focuses on reforesting a private protected area in Corrientes. This province is rich in wetlands, subtropical forests, and endangered species — many of which depend on native tree cover for survival. Planting trees here doesn’t just absorb CO₂ — it revives entire ecosystems.
What sets this apart is the urgency: climate change is accelerating, and nature needs help now. This isn’t theoretical. It’s hands-in-the-soil, roots-in-the-ground action.
One Ride. One Tree: Buenos Aires Transfers’ Eco Promise
So, how does it work?
Simple. Every time a client books a private ride with Buenos Aires Transfers, we plant one native tree — no strings attached, no hidden fees. It’s automatically part of your reservation.
This initiative grew out of our commitment to transform our business model. As we became more aware of tourism’s environmental impact, we realized we had an opportunity to do more than just reduce harm. We could become a vehicle for change.
We partnered with local forestry experts to ensure that our trees are not just planted, but cared for — with long-term growth, survival, and ecological contribution in mind. The trees we plant are native species, chosen to strengthen biodiversity and support local fauna.
This isn’t a PR move — it’s personal. Our team visits the reforestation site regularly, tracks the trees’ progress, and works with conservationists on the ground. It’s about building a living legacy, tree by tree.
Why Corrientes? The Green Heart of Our Reforestation Effort
Corrientes is one of Argentina’s greenest provinces, home to the Iberá Wetlands — one of South America’s largest freshwater ecosystems. It’s also one of the regions most affected by deforestation and habitat loss.
Our reforestation takes place on a private protected reserve, managed in partnership with environmental engineers and reforestation specialists. This land was selected for its high ecological value and strategic biodiversity role.
Why a private reserve? Because it ensures long-term protection. Public parks often lack the resources to maintain consistent care. Our model guarantees that every tree planted has a real chance to grow into a thriving forest.
We don’t just aim to plant trees — we aim to restore entire habitats, bringing back the balance between land, water, and wildlife.
Transparency You Can Trust: Real Trees, Real Impact
There’s no shortage of greenwashing in the travel industry. But we’re different. Here’s how we guarantee accountabilityand transparency:
- 🌱 Each reservation directly funds one tree planting — automatically.
- 💸 There’s no extra cost for the passenger.
- 🌍 Every tree is documented and monitored — ensuring survival and growth.
- 📷 We regularly share updates and visuals from the reserve.
- 🔬 We work only with verified native species that enhance the local ecosystem.
Our commitment is simple: every action we take must produce a tangible ecological benefit. No vague promises, no symbolic gestures.
The carbon footprint of one short ride might seem small — but multiplied across hundreds or thousands of trips, the collective impact is monumental. This is about turning routine travel into a force for climate action.
Boosting Biodiversity and Supporting Local Communities
Trees don’t grow in isolation — and neither do ecosystems. That’s why we focus on planting native species that support endemic birds, insects, and mammals, helping to rebuild fragile food chains and biological corridors.
But it’s not just about the environment. Our initiative also creates economic opportunities in rural Corrientes. From tree nurseries to field technicians, this project supports local employment in sustainable forestry.
In a country where rural depopulation is a growing concern, we see this as a way to revitalize local communities while healing the land. Tourism and conservation can work together — when done right.
We’re proud that our business is no longer just about moving people from place to place — it’s about connecting people with a cause.
