A transparent approach to reforestation in Cyprus
A place on the map
Mavronero is the first project in Cyprus to appear on explorer.land — a platform created by OpenForests to bring visibility and transparency to reforestation and land-based projects around the world.
For us, being present on explorer.land is not about promotion or scale. It is about placing our work within a wider context and sharing how a reforestation project evolves over time — openly, honestly, and connected to its landscape.
What is explorer.land?
explorer.land is a public platform developed by OpenForests that allows reforestation projects to present their current status and ongoing development.
Rather than focusing only on outcomes, the platform highlights process: how land is managed, how projects change season by season, and how long-term care is applied.
This perspective closely reflects how we work at Mavronero — where reforestation is understood as a gradual, adaptive process shaped by climate, soil, and time.
Why transparency matters
Reforestation is often spoken about in abstract terms, disconnected from place and daily practice. explorer.land offers a way to ground these projects in real landscapes and ongoing work.
By sharing information publicly, projects can be followed over time, not as finished results, but as living systems that require patience, observation, and long-term commitment.
For Mavronero, transparency means allowing others to see how decisions are made on the ground and how the land responds over time.
Mavronero and OpenForests
Our connection with OpenForests through explorer.land is built on shared values: care for land, long-term thinking, and openness.
Through the platform, our reforestation project in Cyprus is documented in a way that reflects its real conditions: Mediterranean climate, local soils, seasonal rhythms, and the slow nature of ecological recovery.
Being part of explorer.land also connects Mavronero to a broader network of projects working toward similar goals in different regions, climates, and landscapes.
Reforestation as a long-term process
At Mavronero, reforestation is not a single action but an ongoing relationship with the land. Trees are planted, observed, supported, and allowed to adapt naturally.
explorer.land offers a framework to communicate this approach clearly, showing that reforestation is not about speed or numbers, but about continuity, responsibility, and care over time.
Looking ahead
By sharing our project on explorer.land, we invite others to follow the evolution of Mavronero’s reforestation work as it unfolds.
Not as a completed story, but as a process in progress — rooted in Cyprus, shaped by the Mediterranean environment, and guided by long-term stewardship.
