Forestal Sylvis se dedica a un objetivo que busca generar riqueza y no solo dinero. Buscamos unir el capital, el trabajo y la naturaleza para optimizar la generación de valor a través de un modelo propio de reforestación boscosa con incentivo comercial, para atraer la inversión privada en favor de la restauración de ambientes y de la reducción de los impactos del cambio climático. Como la restauración de los bosques nativos no es posible por el largo tiempo de su desarrollo y por su elevado costo, la segunda mejor opción es plantar árboles de rápido crecimiento en sistema silvopastoril, mezclando árboles con pasto y ganado, para generar dinero en el corto y mediano plazo, mediante la venta de carne y madera. Este modelo de trabajo permite que la fauna y la flora tengan refugio y comida, ampliando los espacios de vida para ellas. Durante el crecimiento de los árboles se captura carbono, teniendo los sistemas silvopastoriles el potencial para reducir las emisiones de CO2eq / kg de proteína de la ganadería bovina en hasta un 45%; por otro lado, se produce leña a través de los raleos. Además, se tiene el cuidado de proteger el agua, el suelo, el clima y la biodiversidad. Atendiendo el desarrollo de las comunidades aledañas, aplicamos el Semáforo de Eliminación de la Pobreza para ay
