"One tree for each memory, each memory for a new life, a life in each tree."

From their website: "Ecomemoria is a project that merges ecology and memory to pay tribute to and celebrate the lives and dreams of the victims of the civil-military dictatorship. We aim to create an ecological reserve, a site of historical memory, by planting a native tree for each and every one of the disappeared detainees and political executions during Pinochet’s terrorism.  Ecomemoria was born in 2002 by planting trees. One tree for each disappeared detainee and political execution in different cities and places around the world, thus creating a sort of “universal forest” across the planet."
