About Us:

In 2007, Main International S.A. purchased and currently holds Title for approximately 175 hectars of land on the Pacific Coast of the Azuero Penninsula near Pedasi, Los Santos  Panama.  Previously, Owners of this property cut existing forest to use the property for cattle, and ultimately planted over 60 hectars of Teak.   

Main International’s established goal is to reforest its entire property with native tree species and remove all Teak which is not native to the area.  Reconstituting forest corridors, and bringing wildlife back to the immediate area.   

Main International is committed to:
• helping our staff obtain the knowledge, skills, and tools to better manage their natural resources and benefit from the preservation, and reconstruction of local forests.
• training locals how to: grow, plant, and maintain native tree species.
• creating jobs through reforestation – a different kind of development for the Azuero.
• imparting a sense of value toward the natural environment
• being a good neighbor and sponsoring the local community.

Main International is a registered reforestation company with ANAM, and fully adheres to all rules and regulations having jurisdiction over the site.
