ARMY siembra el 'Bosque BTS' en Machu Picchu: fans plantan miles de árboles en honor al grupo de k-pop previo a sus conciertos en Lima
BTS se convirtió en el primer grupo asiático en ganar el 'American Music Award' (AMA) a Artista del Año (2021).

Overview

  • ARMY Perú planted about 2,000 native trees in the Machu Picchu sanctuary under the Environment Ministry’s One Million Trees campaign.
  • The drive is led by SERNANP and Profonanpe to restore priority areas damaged by wildfires, vegetation loss and soil degradation.
  • Crews used aliso, queñua, chachacomo, tara and sauco, species chosen to help capture water, stabilize soils and rebuild habitat.
  • The ministry will issue certificates that recognize a dedicated BTS Forest for participants and supporters of the effort.
  • A digital platform is open for global donations to fund more plantings, and fans have linked the project to BTS’s October concerts in Lima to leave a lasting legacy.
