At Desert Leaves, we are proud to collaborate with initiatives that aim to offset the carbon footprint of tourism in the Valencian Community. As part of this commitment, 60 employees from RH Hotels took part in a reforestation day in Pego, actively contributing to CO₂ capture, enhancing biodiversity, and supporting local communities. Together, they planted 328 trees! ❤️
A big thank you to RH Hotels for joining this sustainable action and being part of the change. Together, we are making a greener and more responsible future possible. This effort not only helps restore ecosystems but also strengthens the connection between tourism and environmental responsibility.
Restoration of a fire-damaged landscape with resilient vegetation and erosion control, aiming at regenerating the ecosystem and preventing wildfires.

We are thrilled to announce our new afforestation project in collaboration with CEDEPAS, in the district of Arapa in southern Peru. This community reforestation ensures not only plant regeneration, but also the establishment of native groves capable of withstanding extreme conditions above 4,000 metres above sea level. Queñua reforestation not only contributes to climate change mitigation, but also strengthens water security, protects crops, and creates a foundation for new community development opportunities around native forests.
