This meaningful morning brought together Bucuti & Tara guests Mr. and Mrs. Maccini and Mr. and Mrs. Ballweg, alongside dedicated resort team members, with transportation generously provided by Fofoti Tours to support the initiative. Together, they planted native trees that will flourish for generations to come. The event marked an inspiring new chapter in extending Bucuti & Tara’s climate leadership beyond its carbon-neutral resort grounds to the heart of Noord, home to its very own nature preserve. Celebrating Climate Action Through Connection World Climate Action Day, observed globally on October 24, encourages individuals and organizations to take concrete steps toward achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and advancing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). As a proud member of the UN Tourism’s Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, Bucuti & Tara is among the global leaders in hospitality, taking measurable steps to reduce and offset carbon emissions. As the first of many to come, today’s activity also marks the beginning of Bucuti & Tara’s newest guest experience, Plant a Tree of Love. This heartfelt program invites couples to plant a native tree together at The Bucuti & Tara – GMC Nature Preserve, symbolizing both their love for one another and their shared love for Aruba. Each tree becomes a living testament, growing stronger and deeper over time, just like the couples who plant them. Beyond its romantic symbolism, the initiative provides guests with a meaningful opportunity to give back to the island, contributing to the restoration of nature, biodiversity, and climate resilience. “Creating our Plant a Tree of Love program allows us to go beyond reducing emissions on our resort grounds,” shares Crescenzia Biemans, Managing Director of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. “It reflects our belief that true climate action is about regeneration, inviting our guests and community to take part in restoring and protecting Aruba’s natural heritage. Our Nature Preserve, a cherished gift to Aruba from Mr. Ewald Biemans, Grete Marie Case, and our resort, provides the perfect setting for this shared purpose to give back to the island we love and help it thrive for generations to come.” The Plant a Tree of Love experience will expand in 2026, offering guests an enduring opportunity to celebrate their bond while helping safeguard Aruba’s natural beauty for future generations. The Heart of Bucuti & Tara’s Climate Commitment Yesterday’s tree-planting event marks yet another milestone in Bucuti & Tara’s enduring journey of environmental leadership. As the Caribbean’s first and only certified carbon-neutral hotel and the recipient of a United Nations Climate Action Award, Bucuti & Tara continues to transform sustainability from a philosophy into daily, measurable impact. At the core of this mission stands The Bucuti & Tara – GMC Nature Preserve, a 32-acre sanctuary for native biodiversity, education, and research. Together with local NGO Ban Lanta y Planta, Bucuti & Tara is reforesting the preserve with native trees and plants, now numbering more than 1,200, each one helping to restore Aruba’s natural balance. In partnership with the University of Aruba, ongoing research investigates how native species capture and store carbon, providing valuable insights that will inform long-term climate strategies and reinforce the preserve’s role as a vital carbon sink for both the community and the resort. The preserve not only restores native ecosystems but also plays an integral role in sequestering carbon as Bucuti & Tara advances toward its Net Zero certification for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. While Scopes 1 and 2, which cover direct and energy-related emissions, are nearing full neutralization, Scope 3 emissions remain a global challenge that involves suppliers, transport, and production chains. Bucuti & Tara is addressing this by further reducing emissions across its operations and through its own distribution company, Tara Eco Supplies, which works closely with suppliers to advance sustainable sourcing and logistics. Further, the resort invests in nature-based solutions such as The Bucuti & Tara – GMC Nature Preserve, which helps sequester residual carbon while restoring biodiversity. Through these combined efforts, Bucuti & Tara continues to learn, collaborate, and share knowledge with other organizations to accelerate collective progress toward a more sustainable future. “Every tree we plant strengthens the foundation for a more resilient and self-sustaining Aruba,” shares Ewald Biemans, Founder of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. “The preserve is more than a carbon sink. It is a living classroom and a gift to our island where nature, people, and knowledge come together. By protecting and restoring our ecosystems, we can show that even a small island can make a meaningful contribution to global climate action.” Hope Grows Here Bucuti & Tara once again extends its heartfelt gratitude to our cherished guests, Mr. and Mrs. Maccini and Mr. and Mrs. Ballweg, who joined us for the first Plant a Tree of Love activity, and to our dedicated associates whose passion made it possible. We also thank our valued partners at Fofoti Tours for providing transportation in support of this meaningful mission. Together, we planted more than trees; we planted hope, unity, and a vision for a thriving Aruba. On this World Climate Action Day, we are reminded that every action, no matter how small, contributes to a greater collective good. With each tree rooted in our nature preserve, we renew our promise to nurture our island home, our planet, and the generations yet to come. “Today’s trees will stand as a reminder that climate action begins with each of us,” adds Biemans. “We are proud, grateful, and deeply motivated to keep growing together.”
