Considered the first regional environmental legislation, the decree underscores the need to protect nature and promote the rational use of natural resources.
The Head of State reiterated the Decree’s relevance as a historical and political benchmark for the promotion of Ecosocialism in Venezuela, in line with the fifth objective of the Plan de la Patria (Homeland Plan), a legacy of Commander Hugo Chávez. “This decree is foundational for our ecosocialist vision and for the defense of Pachamama, Mother Earth, which fundamentally began with the Southern Campaign,” he stated.
During the event, the Minister of Popular Power for Ecosocialism, Ricardo Molina, presented the progress report of the Great Mission Mother Earth Venezuela, launched on July 10 of this year. 1,262 Ecosocialism Councils have been established nationwide, and another 1,200 are in the process of being formed before the end of 2025.
“We have promoted the strengthening of communal government bodies and the creation of Ecosocialist Councils in each commune,” Molina reported.
271 forest and fruit tree nurseries have also been recovered and activated throughout the country. This year, the goal was to produce 5 million plants, a figure that has almost been reached with trees already distributed across the country. In this regard, President Maduro pledged to participate in a special tree-planting event: “In 12 days we can go to the fields and mountains. I’ve been invited to plant those 200,000 trees and reach 5 million trees planted for life.”
By 2026, the Bolivarian Government projects having 2,000 community nurseries and doubling annual tree production, with a goal of 10 million trees. This strategy is part of public policies focused on environmental education, ecosystem conservation, and promoting popular participation through Mission Tree and the Councils of Ecosocialism.
During his visit to Vinicio Adames Park, the President expressed his satisfaction at seeing “these green spaces for the healthy enjoyment of the Venezuelan people.”
